Will Fat Injections Help Fix a Dent on my Leg? (photo)

Yes, in most cases, fat injections can help smooth dents in other places in the body.  In most cases, the dents can be made less deep and less obvious.  Fat is harvested through a mini liposuction technique.  The fat cells are then purified in a centrifuge and injected in the area of the dent.  

 

Good Luck.

Dear patient, It is difficult to make a full evaluation with just one photo. I believe that there is a small possibility that you have a skin condition called Morphea. It is not dangerous but you should see a Dermatologist for a full evaluation and treatment. Trauma can cause dents but this would be a very un-usual place for you to get trauma that caused fat necrosis and not remember the event. Fat atrophy from trauma also does not cause the discoloration that I see in the photo. Is the skin a little hard to touch? Once you have ruled out Morphea we can start addressing the dent. Fat transfer with PRP is a great way to fix the problem. Downtime is minimal (2-3 days) and cost is about $1500
