The causes of depressions or dents of the thighs is the most important factor in determining what the appropriate treatment would be. Loose skin can be treated with a body lift and/or thigh lift. Depressions due to trauma, steroids or liposuction can be treated with scar release and fat transfer. Depressions due to cellulite can be treated with a body lift or minimally invasive laser treatments such as CelluSmooth
The cause of the depressed area on the thigh is important for timing of the correction and what method to use. In general depressed areas from scars are treated by releasing the scar and filling with fat. Depreesed areas due to steroids need to wait atleast one year before treating with fat transfer. idiopathic depressed areas will need assessment to decide whether liposuction around the area and fat transfer to the depressed area. Best doctor is a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in fat transfer.
Without a photo it is not possible to choose a better alternative. For small areas sometimes direct excision works, but the scar would be larger than for liposuction. A plastic surgeon would be capable of dealing with problems like this. All the best.
Treatment for depressed areas of the thighs will depend upon the cause of the depression and physical findings. The most common cause results from liposuction. Treatment usually involves fat removal from the surrounding area plus fat transfer to the depression. Release of the scar tissue or skin tightening might be added in some cases, too. Your plastic surgeon really needs to examine you for the best recommendation.
