I had liposuction on my thighs two years ago and have horrible cellulite and skin irregularities as a result. I have already tried cool sculpting, intense massage, Venus legacy, mesotherapy, truSculpt 3D, and Emsculpt. No non-surgical method has worked. Is it worth undergoing revision liposuction / fat grafting? Will that work? Or is there another method? I am currently living in Atlanta, GA but am willing to travel anywhere to get my legs back to the point where I can go out in public.
Answer: Is there a way to fix the horrible cellulite and skin irregularities on my thighs caused by liposuction? Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. Thank you for your pictures. Based on your images, it appears as you may benefit from a liposuction revision and skin tightening. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra this likely will need internal heating, fat grafting and posterior thigh lift or spiral lift to get improvement. otherwise non invasive technologist. I suggest you see an expert. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Cellulite Dear vnno, you might consider Cellfina to reduce the cellulite. Patients are usually satisfied after the treatment (over 90 %). I would suggest you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with Cellfina.

Answer: High definition VASER liposuction Renuvion skin tightening would be the best solution as there doesn't appear to be excess skin or extensive skin laxity in the area. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a renuvion specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
