I had lipo about 10 years ago. I thought it was the best thing I had ever done. Once I found out that the area on top of my hips was called the flanks, I was determined to get rid of them..lol. Anyway, I would certainly do it again but unfortunately, what happens is that you continue to gain weight eventually and you just have another body part issue. Now, I can't seem to get rid of tummy fat which in all honesty bothers me more....arrggghhh. Anyway, just think about it. I'd say that if you have a body part that is unusually large, say saddlebags or a large tummy...go for it but do keep in mind that you will have another issue at some point in time. It may seem like the ideal thing to do but in reality, it's not. Oh well, hope that helps some.
