“How to correct dent in leg from lipo”

Liposuction: NOT worth it

Cost: $5,000
Pain: Mild
Liposuction satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor
I do not recommend my Liposuction provider: Name not provided
Why: It really depends on the doctor. My doctor was part of a well-known practice, but I believe she was fairly new.

Had thigh lipo to try to contour my legs more. I'm of normal weight, not heavy or thin. One leg ended up with a dent on the side that is very noticeable. Have had fat grafting by the doctor twice to try to fix it, but it hasn't.

Do I have any other options? I can't wear a bathing suit or anything that will reveal my upper thigh because the dent looks like a leg deformity. I've even told people that it was a cyst I had removed.

Sorry to hear that. You should get a second opinion. Unfortunately with any surgical procedure, there are risks though. I hope you are able to resolve this issue. Good Luck

I am suffering from same problem, even worse with outter thigh problems. I have heard that thigh lifts are a better option. Though of course this is pricey.
