Vaser Lipo on Outer Thighs - London, England

Hi all,

I am booked into have vaser lipo on my outer thighs on the 17th April. I am very excited but also rather nervous. I have decided to only tell my boyfriend as yet as I am not sure that a majority of my friends would understand so I think I will tell them after if they notice.

I am a regular gym goer (I try to go every week morning) but no matter how clean I eat or how many weights I lift I just cant shift the excess weight from my bottom/saddlebag area so although surgery is quite a drastic decision I honestly think that it is now my only option. I have hated this part of my body for years and will be so happy to wave it goodbye!! I really believe this has had a massive effect on my confidence (or lack of) since I can remember) I love my curves but am just not happy with my out of proportion look (I am a size 8/10 on top but a 10/12 on bottom). I am really hoping this will take me down to a comfortable size 10 all over :). I haven't got the nicest legs and never will but I can live with them ;).

I have found this site really useful when making decisions and doing research so thought I'd share my story and write a little before, during and after to help others with their decision making. I have chosen Dr Mike Comins to do the procedure at the private clinic in Knightsbridge London. I have paid £2,600 + £70 quid(!!) for the compression garment. I have been told this is calf length - sexy not! Does anyone know why it needs to be calf length? Will this be obvious under clothes??

Has anyone else had just their outer thighs done? How painful was it? I wil be having local anaesthetic (sedation is an additional £500 which i just cant afford) What was your recovery time like? I am planning to take about 10days off after but will return quicker if I can? I'd love to hear your stories and see before and after pics if you have them. I will be happy to post before and after pics too. Roll on the 18th April!! [RS bleep]
