I've had 2 Vanquish treatments on my tummy & flanks in the last 2 weeks. While I've noticed those areas are slimmer, my inner thighs also appear fatter. My wt hasn't changed since I started the treatment so I'm wondering if fat just grew more in other places of my body (my inner thighs)? My inner thighs don't usually get big when I gain weight so I was surprised to see that they appear fatter. Can happen with Vanquish? I've heard this happens to liposuction patients.
