I had 4 areas done with the tickle lipo, only 1.5 liters total. My outer thighs have a weird bulge now.It's been 3 months. The bulge was not there before. My stomach & hips are smooth & look fine, but my thighs don't.Is it possible this can resolve over the next 3 months?

Answer: Liposuction results may require revision in one of five cases
The reported cosmetic experience has noted that up to 22% of cases will require revision or touch up after a liposuction procedure. This is something that patients should be aware of when considering a procedure. Most times is a minor procedure and performed once the inflammatory phase has settled 3 to 6 months or more after the initial procedure. Your photo suggests this can be the case and commonly, revisions may be offered at no cost, or at nominal cost.

Answer: Liposuction Bulge
It has been 3 months which is a reasonable amount of time to allow things to settle. Once the hip area is soft then the problem most be identified. Is this excess fat (under suctioned area) or minimal fat around the area (over suctioned periphery). If this is an under suctioned area then the answer is additional liposuction. If this is an over suctioned periphery then fat grafting would be the answer. Sometimes it may be reasonable to split the difference a bit of liposuction and fat grafting.
