Dissatisfaction among women with "thunder thighs" undergoing closed aspirative lipoplasty.

The common problem appears to be unrealistic expectations. These patients expected a change in body habitus. This article reiterates the need for careful patient selection and preoperative information of what the procedure can and cannot accomplish.
