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

Some patients can develop fat atrophy in an isolated area such as your situation from either steroid injections, trauma, or an inflammatory condition called panniculitis. Treatment can involve the use of fat transfer with scar release.  You would be a good candidate, but may require at least two treatments to achieve a good result. This procedure can typically be performed in the office under local anesthesia which reduces the cost substantially. Visit our website for pricing information. Best wishes.

      I perform hundreds of liposuction procedures and fat transfers to defects each year.  This is probably the best treatment for your area of concern.  Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and fat grafting procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Yes , this would be the most reasonable procedure. Evaluation with motion may show bands that require cutting with a "pickle fork" instrument which often has ability to fat graft as well. Can do this procedure in the office under local anesthesia. As said elsewhere often 2 or 3 sessions are needed to complete the job and i usually wait at least 3 months between sessions. Good Luck!
