"The Twins" - A Documentary

In following the spirit of "The Jodi Project" where we feature real patients from the Lehigh Valley, our next project involved twin sisters who have been trying to undo what genetics had done to their thighs. They both religiously tried diet and exercise, they're young, they eat healthy, but no matter what they did their inner and outer thigh pockets of fat would not resolve.

We asked the girls if they would share their story with others and they selflessly said "yes". We featured "The Twins" in the April 2011 edition of Lehigh Valley Style.

When having fat removed from the inner and outer thigh areas, it's not the amount of fat that is removed, but more so the "area". Thighs are not about debulking, like larger body areas such as abdomens or love handles. With the thighs, you want your physician to "sculpt" a shape complimenting the buttocks area and the rest of your body.

If you look at "The Twins" closely, you will see that they are not identical. Dr. Young sculpted their thighs with the Palomar SlimLipo™ laser to remove the pockets of fat on the outer hip area and on the inside. This smoother shape enabled them to finally wear "skinny jeans" and no longer have to buy long shirts to pull down over their legs.
