How much can I improve my thighs and butt with lipo?

Pearshaped1990
I have previously had lipo 6 years ago and thought the doctor was far too conservative and there was very minimal difference, he basically improved subtle contouring but left my legs still looking stocky. I am very pear shaped, at my healthiest, lightest weight, and very frustrated with how much stockier my legs are compared to my very skinny upper body. My legs are naturally muscular, but there is also plenty of fat in them. Can anything actually be done to make my figure less pear shaped?
