No thigh gap after Lipo?
LiposuctionI had liposuction today on my hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. I specifically asked for a noticeable thigh gap. With the compression stockings on, I do have a small thigh gap, but when I took them off briefly to go to the bathroom, my inner thighs looked the same as before—no thigh gap at all! My calves already seem a bit slimmer, but I can’t help feeling a little worried.

How to avoid capsule and get drop and fluff?
Breast Implant RevisionHad a bleeding after surgery 3 years ago. Never became as soft as the other one and never fell into place. Had revision 6 months ago and breast has capsule again. Should the implant be taken out for a time and then reinserted to avoid capsular contraction? Is it too late to have the breast to ever undergo the drop and fluff process after a revision even if the implant does not capsule again?
