If you get liposuction in your legs, but still unhappy, can you get another liposuction procedure on your legs? Does it cause more scar tissue?
Answer: Liposuction Causes Scar Tissue
Liposuction does cause scar tissue, and this scar at the least makes a secondary liposuction more demanding physically. If more liposuction is needed and the skin is of good enough quality, more liposuction can be done.

Answer: Liposuction and Scar Tissue
Whenever a wound is created in the body, wound healing will create scar tissue. With liposuction, you will see a few short scars at the insertion points for the suction instrument. However, scar tissue will form inside within the fatty layer that was suctioned. Interestingly, scar tissue usually contracts over time, and this process within the fat might actually help tighten the overlying skin a little. Although this internal scarring might increase the resistance felt when the suction instrument is moved through the fat, it really shouldn't preclude successfully performing a secondary or revision liposuction. So if you didn't see enough reduction in fullness with your initial surgery, then discuss with your surgeon whether a second procedure could reasonably be expected to achieve further improvement.

Answer: Secondary liposuction is occasionally indicated but is somewhat harder due to scarring.
All operations leave at least some scar tissue. Lipsuction is no different and that scarring complicates revisional surgery.

Answer: Liposuction Revision
Even with the best of technique, it is possible to have results that would benefit from further liposuction. A touch-up procedure (typically after 9 months) is a great way to improve a 90% result to a 95% result (or better), and I wouldn't worry about creating more scar tissue.
