Not happy at all with the results on my legs...my only regret thus far..I'm hoping that by 6 months it will be different...so far my b4 and after pics looks identical to me...tell me what you guys think..

I felt very comfortable with the three docs I met but more so with Dr. Nangrani, she was very honest and direct. She told me that I might have a tiny overlap in my lower ab after the procedure but it will be so small it will hardly be noticed ( didn't really want to hear that at first but I respected her honesty plus she added I can always schedule a skin tightening procedures with her in the future if needed) she made me feel real comfy,and assured me that I will love my results) I'm scheduled for next week Friday, almost canceled when I realized it was Friday the 13th :-). Had my pr-op today and I'm so nervousness but looking forward at the same time.

I don't think the before looks identical. It's a subtle difference but it's there. Your thighs were not very big to begin with! I'd almost think that you still have a bit of swelling going on. What does your doctor say?

Gorgeous!  In that teeny tiny sliver of face, you look just like Naomi Campbell (ie. her lips).  And it's no crime to post selfies, especially on RealSelf.  Shoot--it should be a crime not to.  We all want to see them! It's the closest thing to putting a face with the name we'll ever get. :D  Continued happy healing!

Oh, and BTW, if you ever get a chance, I'd love to see your knees.  I just had mine done and am curious.  Mine are swollen, of course, but it's even a little hard to visualize what the difference would be.
As you can see in my post mine looks the same as b4....haven't seen any difference. ...did your doc give you any specific instructions. ..mine told me no heels for two months....and that it's the hardest to see results soon. .. :-(
Lol at the NC teeny tiny look alike it's funny you say that because at my Job at least two different people said that to me in the last two months..... happy healing on your knees doll...hope your results are better than mine :-)
See now, and they can see your whole face!  So it must be more than just the lips :D.  *Jealous*!!

And no, I got no special instructions about the knees.  At all.  And mine are swollen and crazy bruised, while the rest of me is barely bruised at all and only a little swollen.  I'm sure I'm doing everything wrong.  I'll have to remember to ask in the post-op, but what you said is helpful--not to wear heels and that it takes a long time to see results :D.  Thank you!
I just saw your update with the pics.  Thanks for adding those!  You got skinny calves like me!  Were they supposed to take it out above your knees?  On me it was on the medial sides of my knees.  Did they say six months, maybe?  I don't want to have to wait that long! :-/
Gorgeous!! I love that green striped skirt. How are you feeling??
I feeling good hun...thanks for asking...As for the skirt it's one of my fav...I wear more skirts than pants because my thighs are so big I don't like how they fit in my pants....

Work pics.....

Feeling better for the last few days...I have no regrets doing my surgeries...I hope it didn't come off like that in my last post.....I'm doing my part to stay motivated eating healthy and exercising as much as possible ( I really don't like the exceeding part because my work schedule is so long I'm so tired when I get home)....I've posted two pics of how I dress for work.....
