I had lipo on my upper legs. The doctor went over the tops of my thighs, very visible divots and misses. Can this be improved?

Question

Is there any surgeon that's come up with a way of improving this better than they did several years ago? I had it back in 2000. Thank you

Many advances have been done over the last 20 years. I suggest you seek out a body sculpting expert to discuss a revision. -Dr. Emer

Dear alwayslearning,
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.

Yes.   Liposuction is the number one procedure that I perform.   Therefore, I get lots of patients consult me for revisions.   Divots can be corrected.  I would need to see pictures of what you are dealing with as well as what type of liposuction device was used.  If you're interested, please contact my office.

To correct divots over the top of you legs, you will require a combination of expert liposuction with VASER, possible Renuvion skin contracture, as well as fat grafting, and possible tucking of skin along the infra-abdominal crease. The tucking can be incorporated into a mini or full tummy tuck depending on your needs. A consultation with an expert body contouring specialist would be very helpful.

To make an assessment we at a minimum need to see quality pictures.

It’s also a good idea to use correct terminology. On the human body the leg goes between the ankle and the knee. The thigh is between the knee and the hip.

Best,
