It's been two years since I underwent inner thigh Coolsculpting and was left with these "sharkbite" indents plus permanent hyperpigmentation as a result. I've consulted with 5 surgeons now and each one has a different method of recommended approach. I'm interested in obtaining as many opnions as possible prior to making a decision about my course of action, so all opinions would be welcome. This has been a very traumatic situation and my next steps need to be helpful ones.
Answer: Sharkbites from coolsculpting inner thighs I have found sometimes liposuction with renuvion heating can help but most of the time a thigh lift is needed to truly fix this. fat grafting as well. I suggest a consult. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Thighs I am not a fan of Coolsculpting since the results are unpredictable and can leave some in worse shape. A fat transfer could be done to help restore volume loss. Since your previous treatments have left scarring, it may need more than one transfer and the fat placement must be conservative. Fat could also help with some discoloration over time. It will not be a quick fix. Please go to someone with experience in fat grafting in scarred areas.

Answer: CoolSculpting Shark Bite Dear deenaaa, 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.

Answer: CoolSculpting Shark Bite Inner Thighs. This is a complication/s of CoolSculpting! The hyperpigmentation is unfortunately permanent. The "indents and hills above and below the dents can be improved via lipo of hills and fat grafting to dents with Sculptra injections as an added improvement. This is a general anesthesia correction in office. Best to seek ONLY in person advise from only very experience boarded private practice Plastic Surgeons (NOT the clinic ones!). Fees in the $10,000 ranges.

Answer: High Definition VASER Liposuction You would benefit from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Revision surgeries require careful examination and vary from patient to patient. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
