Skin scarred down to muscle 1 year after liposuction?

November 17, 2013
Asked By:divagirl23

I had liposuction over a year ago and one leg was overly liposuctioned leaving the skin scarred down to the muscle with no fat in between. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Can the skin be "untethered" and a thin layer of fat tranfered there to create a cushion? I have addressed this with my plastic surgeon who denies that anything is wrong, so obviously I am seeking to fix this with a different surgeon. I am very distraught and any insight or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
