Lipo scarring, 1 year out. Is there something I can do about this? (Photo)

February 8, 2024
Asked By:Metalmom30 in Wayne, New Jersey

I had liposuction on my thighs in Jan 2023. At the time, I ended up with this very angry looking red gash running up the inside of my thigh. The dr assured me it would heal and, while it has mostly, I am left with an unsightly scar on my leg. I am confused as to how lipo causes scarring to begin with as it’s nowhere near the cannula insertion spots. Is there something I can do about this? Should I call the dr who did my procedure a year ago and complain? I am fair skinned naturally.
