From the photograph I can determine the nature the asymmetry but it looks as though the volume of the gastrocnemius. Is asymmetric. If this is the case she would be a good candidate for calf implants.
The easiest area of your leg asymmetry to improve is the calf with a simple subfascial implant placement. The thigh and buttocks would require extensive fat grafting but that depends on how much fat you have to harvest and how well the fat takes. Such broad areas of fat grafting tend to be less effective with decreased fat take.

Lumps after Liposuction in this area can be from localized edema (induration) or swollen lymph nodes in your groin. What you described is often normal after the procedure. Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or...
Surgeons have differing opinions about the length of time the garment should be worn. In my own practice it's about 3 weeks. I a a strong promoter of lymphatic drainage by a therapist trained in this technique. This is not your typical 'Swedish Massage' or 'Deep Tissue Massage'. I find my...
