Thank you for your inquiry!   Filler is am option but it is a short term fix.  Fat is another option that is more permanent.   We would love to meet with you to discuss your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Thank you for your question regarding a dent on your right leg and whether you need a thigh lift or a filler. You do not need a thigh lift. However, you do have a significant indentation on your thigh. This does require a filler. I would suggest an autologous fat transfer. Autologous fat is harvested from your abdomen or love handles and then transferred to the area you're concerned about. In this case, it would be your proper thigh indentation. Fat can be distributed into this area and fill in the defect. During your procedure, it is essential to release this scar before the fat is inserted because if it is not released, the fat will be smothered and die. The scar's release and the fat's insertion can be performed during the same procedure. Of course, at that same time, you can have liposuction on your knees. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding a dent on your right leg and whether you need a thigh lift or a filler. 
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

You do not need a thigh lift for this area. Thigh lifts do not treat this area. You could try fillers like Sculptra or a fat transfer.

Great posted photos. The thigh dent may be "fixed" by injections of Radeisse/Sculptra in a few sessions at $1,000/session. The lipo of knees and calves is a surgery that fee $5,000. Best to virtual consult with...
