Will liposuction fix the thigh roll?

Question

I had anterior and inner thigh lipo for a bbl. Then I was left with a big fold of skin in my inner upper thigh. I had a mini crescent thigh lift which went really well and fixed my inner thigh issue. However the top upper thigh still has this painful tight roll of fat about 2 inches below where the natural crease should be when l bend my legs. I know it seems silly but this is causing me a lot of pain and issues with the mobility and function of my leg because of the way the skin gets pinched.

Dear saraladam95,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Skin folds or skin folds. They are much more related to skin laxity and where the underlying skin has connective tissue attachments than they are fat distribution.

Further Liposuction may have some impact but considering that you’ve had both skin and fat removed I don’t think anyone is going to promise that further surgery is going to change how your skin folds.

Everybody gets skin folds in certain anatomic positions.

I suggest following up with the plastic surgeon who did your previous procedures.

Best,
