Answer: Liposuction and "Sagging Skin"?
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on your recent procedure; I'm glad that you are pleased with your results.
The medial thighs tend to be potentially problematic after liposuction surgery; the skin in this area tends to be quite thin making most patients not good candidates for liposuction of this area. I would give yourself more time before evaluating the final results of the liposuction of the medial thigh and pubic area. Skin retraction may continue to occur.
I do not have any experience with Vella shape so cannot advise.
Best wishes.

Answer: Inner Thigh Sagging a Little After Lipo, Is this Normal?
Liposuction, all liposuction, removes fat. Period. Although some techniques CLAIM to shrink skin that has NOT been scientifically proven AND most of the articles reporting such "shrinkage" were written by doctors subsidized by various companies producing machines claiming to shrink skin.
When air is removed from a balloon, the outer envelope sags and creases. Skin is no different, especially in areas where the skin is poorly attached to the underlying muscles such as the inner thigh. As a result, liposuction of the inner thigh is notorious for uncovering, not creating, skin sag which was masked by the fat holding the skin out - just like a balloon.
I would wait for 6-8 months to see how things have healed before making any decisions. Things may appear better by then. If they are not, you may wish to discuss other options with your Plastic surgeon.
