I had lipo on my thighs and but back in 1991(or2) and I did get a better shape but although my thighs were large I never had cellulite. After lipo it looked/s like I have some cellulite not a ton but lumps and some large indentations appeared.

I've always felt this was because it was maybe pre-tumesant lip or just not a skilled surgeon. I mentioned this in an email to Doctor Sauceda and he said this is probably more like due to my skin elasticity. But my skin elasticity is pretty darn good. I've read on other PS boards of others who also had these issues.

Now I'm getting afraid to have more lipo...

How do you like your lipo results, is it smooth?

I had a good amount of lipo done on my arms back in July. It did a good job debulking them but did leave me with some odd dimples. I'm not freaking it out about it because I already have a revision on my arms planned so it will get addressed then.

I just had lipo on my thighs (less than 2 weeks ago)....so far I love the results but it's not fair to say how they will really look once the swelling is gone and things have settled.

Best wishes!

Tamera, I had tumescent lipo in 2002 and while I didn't get worse cellulite, I did get a couple of the larger indentations that you mention as well. I think it is definitely due to skin elasticity, at least in my case. But the trade off is a MUCH better shape over all. I can understand your reluctance, but maybe once Sauceda sees you in person he can give you a better pediction of how you will turn out. Also, my cousin, who is a nurse in a PS office had lipo to her stomach area and said she noticed the same thing, but she subsequently had a TT and tightening the skin resolved the issue. Also, she has never been overweight a day in her life and it still happened to her. She is about our age as well...mid 40's. Good luck to you!

Thanks Laura, I can see when I lift the skin on my thighs all the rippling and dents disappear. Dr. S doesn't want to do the thigh lift or mini tt this time around he want to do the lipo first then see how it all settles then if needed do the TT TL 6 mo. later.

I think that sounds like a good plan. You certainly don't want to do any cutting if it's not necessary...and judging from the pics you posted the other day it may not be cause you look great already!
