Hi. First time posting and very new to the fitness world. I have yo-yo'd in weight multiple times since my teens (now 28) and this has definitely had a negative impact on my overall skin-elasticity. However, things didn't get really bad until I had liposuction for fat-transfer just over 4 years ago (idiotic decision, I know). Post-healing, the skin on my legs was dimpled and lined similar to really bad cellulite. Before the procedure I did have some cellulite but it was only visible when I actively squeezed my leg. For the past 4 years I've been stuck in a sort of limbo; hiding my legs constantly and feeling a good deal of embarrassment and shame about their appearance. I'm so tired of feeling like this and putting my life on hold. I put off committing to a full-on exercise regime because part of me is scared the problem is a result of loose skin and losing weight will just make things worse.
I've always struggled to put on muscle and was too afraid to really try incase it failed to make enough of a difference and all the effort and commitment was for nothing.. I've been seeing a trainer for weights twice a week as well as swimming twice a week. I've definitely lost a couple inches around my stomach but my legs look as awful to me as ever.
So, the question is, can anyone take a look at my photos (apologies in advance) and advise me on whether losing more fat and trying to build muscle is really likely to make a significant improvement in my case?? Obviously the thought of a more invasive route is upsetting but if that's my only realistic option for getting the aesthetic outcome I want, I'd rather know now...?
Thank you!
