Can Liposuction be used to treat a Morel-Lavellee lesion? (Photo)

Asked By:phillippee.moon in Austin, TX

I had a crush injury about a month ago. My Dr. has confirmed that my lesion is Morel-Lavallee through MRI & Ultrasound. They have done aspirations and compression bandage and have not had much luck. I have read that liposuction can be a treatment. I was thinking of getting liposuction on my stomach (not related to this incident) and thought it might be a good time to do the medically necessary leg and my cosmetically desired stomach. The lession is on my right upper thigh close to my pelvis.
