WORTH IT$8,700
I had my breasts done in 2006, I was and still am happy with the results, unfortunately in 2012, one of my saline implants began to leak. Apparently it was a bad valve. the company owned up to it and paid for the replacement. Now I'm having the same issue...bad valve? The company is replacing my saline implants with gel and the surgery is scheduled for the 27th.
Let me start by saying I was always stick thin and a late bloomer, then when I hit the age of 23 I bloomed... and ever since I've had an issue with my thighs. All of my fat seems to go and stay right on my thighs. It's made me self conscious and unhappy every day.
So now that I'm having my breasts redone, I have the opportunity to have lipo of my inner and outer thighs done...I'm just REALLY nervous about the recovery and the results...I'm also concerned with future fat distribution (aka, I don't want to start gaining weight in my belly).
I have already scheduled and paid for the procedure, but they told me I have until Friday to back out...and I feel like maybe I should....HELP!

How was your surgery? And how is the recovery so far? I'm getting both procedures done on august 14th and I'm the same way my fat sticks to my thighs we have very similar bodies and sizes so I'm just curious about your recovery and what the pain was like! Hopefully minimal and everything went will for you!

I've decided to do it!

So after weeks of deliberation and research and talking with my doctor I've decided I'm going to go for it! I have the support of my mom and my husband (who took a back seat to my decision making, such a sweet heart) I've thought about getting the procedure for years, but when the opportunity finally arose I freaked! I'm happy I finally made a decision, but now I'm pretty nervous. I'll be getting lipo on my outer flanks and lower back. My doctor also stated he would be taking a fine cannula (since I don't have a lot of fat in these areas) and remove a minimal amount from my inner thighs and lower stomach (per my suggestion). I was concerned about lower abdomen b/c its basically my bodies secondary fat storing area. My surgery is July 28th. I'll update soon!

Wow....your thighs already look fine but I'd love to see your results. I'm considering adding it to my Tummy Tuck/Lipo procedure.

Thank you haha! I just have some seriously stubborn fat in my outer thighs. I've been working out AT least 4 times per week for the past year and eating better. I am happy with my results but I just cant get that fat off my outer thighs! I feel like my backside is pretty square. I'll keep posting updates of my recovery and results!
