Sculpsure or Lipo?!? HELP

E
emmavrochaMay 25, 2016

I'm 21 years old, very active and fit and take very good care of my diet but can't seem to get rid of my flanks and inner thigh fat no matter what I do! I've been a volleyball player my whole life so the big legs are natural but I can't seem to slim down my inner thighs. I'm 5'6 and 140lbs. I've looked into both Sculpsure and Lipo and I'm not sure what would be best for me... Any suggestions?

I am not sure that massage will help at all after sculpsure, although in our office we do Vanquish and Cellutone/Z Wave post treatment to enhance results.  Best, Dr. Emer.
