Amazing transformation of housewife who had astonishing 12 litres of fat sucked from her thighs

 

Transformation: Faye Rodgers-Harris after the procedure

This is the incredible transformation of a housewife who had an astounding 12 litres of fat sucked from her legs.
Faye Rodgers-Harris, from Solihull, West Midlands, could not tone up her legs despite losing 10 stone from her 23-stone frame with the help of a gastric band .
The 40-year-old could not slash the size of her 36-inch thighs before discovering she had a condition called lipodema - which piles fat onto the legs and arms.
She told the Birmingham Mail : “My legs were so big they would rub together from the top of the inner thigh down to the knee, causing me to be extremely uncomfortable and often sore to the point of bleeding,” Faye recalled.

After: Faye lost 12 litres of fat from her legs

“I had a permanent sick note to excuse me from school sports because I was too self-conscious to wear a sports skirt.
“Trying to get trousers to fit was near-impossible and I was teased and bullied at school.
“I became deeply depressed about my appearance, especially my arms and legs, and in turn I gained more and more weight until I got to almost 23 stone.
“At one stage my legs were 36 inches – the same size as my husband’s waist.”

Surgery: Fay before the procedure

Faye, who is married to husband Richard, is now a size 16 and weighs 13-and-a-half stone.
She was diagnosed with lipoedema when she turned to consultant plastic surgeon Miss Anne Dancey to have 5lbs of excess skin removed following her weight loss.
“Miss Dancey told me it was an extreme case but it could be treated with liposuction. I can’t tell you how that made we feel,” she said.
“I had given up hope of my legs ever being a normal size.
“I knew it would be a painful process but I also knew I just had to go for it. It was painful – very painful.
“You wouldn’t believe the bruising and I have scars where the tuck surgery was carried out but it really was worth all the pain.

Misery: Faye couldn't get rid of her 36-inch thighs

“For the first time in years I am happy and contented with the way I look.”
Miss Dancey, based at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull, said: “Lipoedema is a condition which causes the legs, and sometimes the arms, to accumulate distinct patterns of fatty tissue.
“It can occur in women of all sizes, from the seriously underweight to the morbidly obese but, unlike normal fat, lipoedematous fat cannot be lost through diet and exercise.
“As soon as I saw Faye I knew she was suffering from lipoedema.
“It is a condition that often goes undiagnosed or blamed on weight gain and I am really working to make people much more aware of it.”
