I have a large dent in the top of my thigh. What can I do to repair this area? (photos)

Asked By:Cheri3h in Fort Worth, TX

I have a large dent in the top of my thigh. I believe it is caused from repeated bruising by my german shepard jumping on me and landing in the same spot. I remember a large deep bruise there before the dent appeared. The skin is still soft but is pale in comparison and the hair follicles enlarged. What can I do to repair this area, if repair is an option? Fat injections? Surgery? Thank you Cheri
