21 Year Old Who Has Never Felt Comfortable in my Own Skin - Tualatin, OR

Your doctor must be very picky. You look great. Besides the very very small amount of belly fat, IMO you're perfect.

I agree with the comment below, you really look good and I do not really see a point in the liposuction, if you want to lose some fat, maybe start a diet or something. Your body is great! Think how much shopping/gym/travel you can do with 8500$!!!!

Hey Girl, I am the exact same as you! 21 Years Old - Same body type. Everyone tells me I have a good body why be upset just workout a bit, eat better...but I DO WORKOUT AND EAT GOOD. They just do not understand. My stomach has fat that won't go away, even when I was 14 and was 100 pounds if that I still had the bulge of fat on my stomach NEVER FLAT - when I sit I have big rolls on my stomach I do not wear tight shirts at all, hate wearing bikinis and I am sick of it! I have my consult next Tuesday. I seriously have close to the same type of stomach as you and thighs and love handles. What I personally want done is my upper and lower stomach (seriously want as much fat gone as possible) love handles and inner thighs. I wouldn't worry about your butt see how things look once you get the main things you want done, who knows maybe him working on your thighs will help the issue he see's with your butt. I have cellulite in my butt but personally I don't want to get fat from my butt gone!! Us girls need some butt! I can't say much about inner vs. outer thighs as I do not know much about it yet but I would think to get inner done more than outter as that is were more of the fat is I believe on me at least. I know what it is like to ask for peoples opinions and all you get is you don't need liposuction, your small already, your body is nice already, just eat better, workout more, your body is perfect...which is all really sweet of people to say and awesome they feel that way about you but they really don't understand we are not happy and that eating right and working out still does not help those areas for us...I am so insecure because I admit I do look small in clothes (if I wear not super tight shirts that show my rolls when I sit and tight jeans that make my love handles hang over) I have a small frame but because of that I am always so nervous because that really is not what it is...I have a bulge and big rolls when I sit so I don't want people ever finding out, whether it is in a bikini, or wearing a dress, or tight shirts so I AVOID IT ALL. It embarrassing for people to think something but it really is not that. But seriously IM 21! PRIME AGE. I want to be able to wear tight shirts, be confident in a bikini. So I personally think you should do the areas you think are bugging you the most on your body...see how it turns out after it heals and if you think you need more then go from there but if not.. look how much money you saved by not getting all the extras done right? Good luck with everything!!!

Hello nwgereen, Because you have asked for thoughts/opinions, I hope you don't mind me posting here. First I want to say that I think you are a lovely young woman. I see that you have feminine curves and a nice shape. It's hard to really explain to you how liposuction would ruin that shape. I think if you look carefully through 'after' photos you will see an odd boxy shape that women then carry after lipo. Also, another effect (which will permanently affect your body shape ~rest of your life, including any periods of time when you might gain weight such as pregnancy, aging, disability, etc..) will be fat redistribution. That means that fat will go to the areas that were not lipo'd: breasts, neck, face, back, etc. In fact this could increase rolls of empty or fat filled skin. I have heard other women say this after lipo, that they wished they had taken that money spent on the procedure and hired a personal trainer and worked on their bodies that way. Not only is this healthier, you will definitely ultimately be more pleased with your body-shape. I am sorry to say that most doctors who practice this want your $$ and do not give out all the proven scientific information. They will say: oh you are a great candidate! Take your money and then if a year down the road you go back, complaining of weird fat deformities they will ask you if you gained weight, and reprimand you that this is not a 'weight loss procedure'. I hope you take my words in the spirit they are intended. I have nothing to gain by dissuading you, whereas the medical community has a LOT ($$) to gain by convincing you that this is for you. I know a lot of women who are in despair because of this procedure.

i Am 21 years my self and im also looking foward in gettin a lipo. Many people tell me that i dont need it, But reality is THAT I DO! i want to be confident about myself.. Im not doing this to please anyone. Im doing it for me! I worked out so much That i was able to see some changes but never on my back rolls nor in my belly! And its very sad to know that im this young and have this type of body. Listen, i think you do look nice and theres not much work to do! only thing i see is that little gut and your love handles! The rest can be work out and trust me youll be fine! :)
