This is an update to a post I originally wrote for Gymnast.com …
I am happy with my decision to have liposuction, and in a way wish I would have done it sooner!
So says 22 year-old Jessica, a cheerleader and gymnast with an athletic build, who found that any extra weight she gained went straight to her thighs.
Jessica is typical of many successful acrobatic athletes. 5’3″ tall with a mesomorphic build.
She was not obese nor even particularly overweight. Only frustrated that her formerly muscular legs got so BIG as a young adult.
… frustrated with buying size 7-9 jeans that were too loose for her tiny size 3 waist, Jessica started researching the possibility of having a liposuction. …
I know nothing about liposuction. But found the article linked above fascinating.
Leave a comment if you have an opinion. Is this a good option for former acrobatic athletes?
Or should ex-gymnasts simply stay in shape as did 1984 Olympic Champion Mary Lou Retton, still considered a “Celebrity Babeâ€.
