Late 30s female here. For the longest time, the surgery has looked appealing and now I am finally be able to afford it. However, I have started to think about whether I would be good candidate for it.
I am 5'2 and weigh 160 pounds. With property exercise and nutrition, I could get down to 135 or so. I am built and not fat. However, I do have some fat around my legs, mainly due to age. My goalwould be to do my tibias first to see how it goes.
If I have some fat/flab on my legs, would the doctor even consider surgery for me? If so, I would have liposuction beforehand to try to clean the area a bit. Not naive here, and yes blood clots and fat embolism are a problem. Has anyone gone through my concerns before or had a doctor talk about these things?
While it is embarrasing to post this, can someone with insight expand on my concerns with medical data in mind. Yes, any surgery is dangerous. That is understood. However, if it is possible to have it, it woud be a dream come true. Also, I bet there are others who are wondering the same thing. Thank you in advance.
Thank you to everyone who responded. It must be noted that ultimately it woud definitely come down to the doctor's decision.
At this time, I would say my level of edcuation in regards to LL is about a 3/10. Have been following this forum and Cyborg 4 Life, every now and then, for a few years and the subject has always piqued my interest.
Finally everything has finally aligned for me to possibly get this done sometime next year if all goes well. This is also the start of the critical learning stage where I educate myself on everything that needs to be considered because this is definitely a major surgery.
Ted68, I sent you a private message if you could respond back, it would be appreciated!

unicorn is that you?
Jeez you are a brave dude to just go full out and make assumptions. Sure says a lot about you! All I have to say: who hurt you?
It truly baffles my mind that so many people have an entitled view on another person they have never meet. Tells me a lot about their level of eduacation, better yet, lack thereof. If you are one of those people, you need to get a life. Will not respond to ignorant posts any more. Who knew Les Miserables could come alive!
