I've a wellknown DR. who's done great work on me before, im 29 my the skin under my butt looks like a 80yr/old after posterior under butt, thigh lipo :( Been a while since I returned to the DR. because I havent had $ to fix this, it looks much worse then it did before surgery, to the point I wear spandex panty hose underneath my pants & can never wear just my bikini bottoms because Im horrified.

On 1 thigh it's like a love handle-roll. Can he fix this on his dime? Or should I keep saving? Cost?

Posterior thigh lift

I share your concerns regarding your results from your liposuction.  You will likely not get your PS to pay the entire amount to fix but he may offer you a discounted rate.  You should go in to discuss your result and desires for correction.  If you do not get the answer you want then you should seek a second opinion.
