WORTH IT$4,000
I wanted to post my experience as there does not seem to be a lot of younger posts for thighs.
For reference I am 5'2 -125 pounds but have ALWAYS carried weight in my legs. I grew up playing soccer and even when I was at my skinniest 115 I still did not have the legs I wanted.
I will post pictures later, but I wanted to ask people what their recovery looked like? I'm expecting to be sore for 2-3 weeks but when did you start working out again? What was your brusing like? Since I am young and in good health I'm thinking my recovery should be fairly easy.

Everything went great, a little nervous but I'm expecting everything should go well. I decided to do just inner/outer thighs

I had my inner and outer thighs done on 4/21/17. I am much older than you! I'm in my 50's. I started Arnica about five days prior. My bruising was quite severe. After a couple weeks it did resolve. I continued the Arnica and also purchased the Arnicare cream to massage the areas. I am now just over four weeks post procedure. I would say overall, the soreness, swelling, and discomfort was much more so than I expected. I do a lot of sitting at my job which I think tended to aggravate my symptoms. Since you are so young, you may not experience quite the degree of symptoms that I had. The swelling persists some, but I am now seeing some results and I know it will continue to improve. I have been wearing my garment pretty much 24/7 but do take it off for an hour or two at times. I do feel better with it on and also I want to get the best results possible after going through all this so I am going to continue to wear it as much as possible. Best of luck!!

The nurse said I had almost 4,000 cc's taken out. I'm not sure what percent of that is fat vs other liquid though I will find out

How much were you quoted for the procedure? I have basically the exact same situation... I can't figure out how much it will be since a lot of the quotes are for bigger jobs.

Had my procedure done this morning at 8:00am. I was brought in, asked to chance into some garments and then Dr drew his lines on inner and outer thighs.
The next part was not so easy for me. I have a very low pain tolerance.... and when they were injecting the numbing agent into my inner thighs I had to have a couple rounds of pain meds put in as well as asked them to stop a couple times. The outer thighs were a breeze and I mostly slept through the rest of the procedure.
The assistants were very nice and made sure I had a place to lye down and sleep as my ride was about 30 mins late.
The rest of today I've just been sleeping on and off. No nausea from the meds and very little drainage. I was experiencing much more pain on my out right thigh, but that has gone away now.
I'll update with pictures soon :)
