Coolsculpting left flat areas on my thighs. Can I have fat grafting to give some normal roundness again? (Photo)

Dear LeeKey,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from fat transfer. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Your flatness can easily be corrected with lipoosuction revision that will involves transfer of fat to the flattened area. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring expert.

Every once in a while cool sculpting actually works and when it does it typically leaves what looks like a cell phone in print.

The reason this doesn’t happen very often is because cool sculpting has such little impact that the imprint from the device is not created. in some ways you could say you were one of the lucky ones where cool sculpting actually delivered or unlucky because it now created a problem we didn’t have before.

This should not be that difficult to correct by evening out the fat distribution with Liposuction surrounding the imprint.

I’ve done a few of these before that turned out fine.

You should definitely go back to the provider who did the procedure and let them know that you’re not happy with the outcome and hopefully try to get your money back saying that you now need to have surgery to correct the problem they created.

If I could get a nickel for every patient left dissatisfied from coolsculpting I could have retired a long time ago.

Best,
