I am looking for a solution for my teenage daughter. Disproportionate thighs are a genetic problem in our family and unfortunately she has inherited this. She has been begging me to get this fixed. She eats an impeccable diet and she exercises. I had lipo on my thighs in my 20s and it made a huge difference in my overall body image. I have read about non-surgical options, but I am not sure if this is appropriate for her. Any suggestions? Thanks

Answer: Nonsurgical procedures tend to be a waste of money.
I do not think that there is any evidence that this will help at all. Please save your money. The amount of skin tightening on the face with RetinA is incredibly small, the amount that you would see on the abdomen after liposuction would be even less.
It sounds like a bruise,serious blood clots are usually invisible, being deepand occur in the first few weeks after surgery,if concerned call your surgeon to discuss and perhaps be seen Best wishes.
If you do not have any other procedure done like breast surgery or tummy tuck everything should be ok, but otherwise you have to follow the advices of your surgeon
