I carry most of my weight in my thighs. They are currently about 30" in diameter, however they are firm, almost hard to the touch and without a lot of jiggle so I assume there's more muscle than fat. They've been compared to Serena Williams but they rub together and I find them unattractive. I'm sure I'll never get a thigh gap, but would lipo work for this type of thigh or would I still end up with thick thighs that look extra musclular without the added fat? Is there another procedure to help?

Answer: Thick thighs I do not have the advantage of examining you but the photos seems to indicate quite muscular anatomy that are reasonably well-defined and not obscured by thick layers of fat except perhaps on the lateral upper thigh area and medial knees. One very important aspect to cosmetic surgery that point out to patients is that choosing to do surgery is really trying to distinguish self from non-self. There are anatomical features that patients feel are "not who they are" and those want to change them with the expectation that what results is more who they are. But just as important in this equation is being able to accept who you are and anatomy that you can identify with or accept as "self". The more you accept "self" and the less you wish to change "non-self", the better candidate you are for cosmetic surgery. You might get some benefit from judicial liposuction but going from "tree trunk" to "flower stem" is probably wishful thinking.
