Can the bad lipo on the legs be fixed? (Photo)

I have fixed issues like yourself numerous times. You can look up some of the photos on my dashboard here on RealSelf or my IG (@drmisbahkhan6) there are some pics and videos on my highlights that u can watch. your defects can definitely be improved upon. Im not saying I can make them look 100% normal. but I can make them better. you can email me if you like

yes this can be improved with liposuction + internal heating but also needs a posterior spiral lift (see link).

my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring).

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Dear brad17,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit yolur plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Irregularities after liposuction and weight loss are not necessarily related to "bad lipo." Skin laxity to some degree always occurs after deflation by weight loss or liposuction. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your thighs, there is always something that can be done to improve them. Congratulations on your weight loss. Please discuss your specific complaints and desires with a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and preferably a member of the ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons).

It is going to be very difficult and maybe not even possibleTo correct the outcome of your previous Liposuction.

The upper thigh or is it challenging area to do liposuction on. Weight loss patients typically do not make for a good candidate. The upper back of the thigh sometimes called the banana roll should not be treated with Liposuction.

Treatment options typically come down to revision Liposuction, fat transfer or exercising the area by converting it to a skin tightening procedure.

None of these are going to be easy or leave great results.

Fat transfer will require multiple rounds. It’s typically beyond what patients are willing to go Through.

Most likely you would require 4 to 6 rounds A fat transfer.

I cannot stress the importance of choosing the most qualified plastic surgeons before committing to having body contouring procedures putting liposuction and fat transfer.

Best,
