Its about two months after my surgery, I healing nicely, but I got two really deep indentation on upper thighs that i never had before, they are the size of about an egg cut diagonally in half. Will they ever fill up? Do I have to have surgery to correct this? It looks really ugly.

Dimpling and dents after liposuction

Given the size of the described dimples, I have my doubts that they will resolve without additional surgery. This may require fat grafting and or a lift of the effected area.

If this dimples are present after 3 months then correction will be necessary. The best way to correct these areas would be use your fat to inject and recontour the areas. Dr. ES

Indentations after liposuction on the thigh

You may see only minimal improvement as surrounding swelling decreases over a total of six months after liposuction. You may need some fat grafting injections to help fill the indentations. see video
