Hello, 4 months ago I had lipo on my outer thighs. I noticed a deep dent on my right outer thigh, after my lipo was done. I will have a touch up lipo on my saddle bags (same thigh where the dent is), Im worried that my dr will overdo my lipo again. Since he said that i had the dent before the lipo and he wants to charge me $1,000 to do fat grafting to fix his own mistake. How can I get it fix without fat grafting? It is possible to build muscle on my legs to diminish the dent without having fat grafting?
