Inner thigh botched liposuction, is it fixable? (photos)

Question

I got a fat transfer to breasts about 6 months ago and one of my legs doesn't match the other. It makes me feel really insecure and I'm curious if this seems like an easy fix? I don't have much fat to take out and I don't want too much taken out of my body to fix it. Is it possible to get this issue fixed with very minimal fat transferred to it? How much does something like this cost? Thank you.

Options to treat irregularities after liposuction include either removing a bit more fat or adding fat with fat grafting.  
On your photo I see a small bulge at your left inner thigh, and can't be sure if there is a small depression close to your underwear line, or if that is a shadow on the photo, this is better assessed in person. 
If both are present, liposuction and fat grafting can improve the area.
If it is the bulge only, liposuction or Coolsculpting can be helpful. 
The areas won't come out perfectly, but can be improved.  The cost will depend on how much surgery is done.

From the photos submitted it would likely be easier to have a little more liposuction performed rather than fat transfer.  The inner thighs have thin skin and carry a risk of contour irregularities after liposuction.

Dear penguinmaster1001,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

We could do this with the TechTrend technology that I use to improve the appearance of your legs. You could contact us on my profile and I will explain you how the process would be.

Based solely on your photos, it might be easier (and cheaper) to touch up the left upper medial thigh with liposuction vs performing a tough up fat transfer.  A physical exam would confirm this hypothesis.
Best wishes.
