Fat Transfer to Fill Depression on Thigh?
I have a small depression on my thigh caused by an external pin. Would you suggest a fat transfer from my abdomen to fill in the depression? If not, what treatment is recommended?

Fat transfer for depression
Fat transfer would be a standard solution to your problem. With any fat transfer, there is a possibility the graft might not survive, or survive partially. Also the depression might be associated with an overlying scar, which cannot necessarily be filled in just by adding volume; it is possible a scar revision might be necessary.
LiveFill (nontraumatized fat fascial grafts may be an alternative with greater longevity than fat injections.

First evaluate cause of depressed scar prior to fat injection
It depends on the nature of the depression.
If the contour is due to a tethered scar, this may need to be released prior to fat grafting. This could be accomplished with minimal effort or may require a more extensive surgical procedure.
Once the scar has been released, fat injection may help but may require multiple sessions.
