What kind of surgery can I get to slim down my legs? (photos)

November 8, 2018
Asked By:Reyna C. in New York, NY

I have super thick/bulky thighs and calves and I am super self conscious about them. I used to be a gymnast, but my legs never slimmed down after I quit gymnastics and switched to running three years ago. My legs are muscular with some fat, but not a lot. I think my overall body fat percentage is about 13-14%. I’ll attach a few pictures of my legs then a picture of what I want my legs to look like. Are there any procedures that will slim my legs down to that shape/size?
