I had liposuction a month ago on multiple areas of my legs, and everything looks good except for my inner thighs. They look lumpy and uneven. I wear my compression garment and still feel like it wont go away. My doctor said he might have to do some revision. is this normal?
Answer: Inner thigh lumpiness after liposuction
At one month it is not a fair evaluation because of swelling. You should maintain wearing the compression garment and wait a few more months. As the inner thigh is more apt to develop irregular contour and sagging after liposuction than other body sites, it may be that you will desire a revision. Sometimes fat injections are used for indentations and small liposuction on residual fatty areas can be done. Aggressive liposuction should not be attempted in this area to revise it as it can make it worse.

CONTACT NOW Answer: LUMPS AFTER LIPO The swelling after liposuction can be visible for months so one month is not enough time to see your final result. Your final result will be visible in 6 months to a year. Wearing your compression garment 24 hours a day for 6 weeks will help diminish the swelling, help the skin retract, and help any “lumpiness” smooth out. Eventually if you are unhappy with your results it would be possible to perform the liposuction again but that is best decided by you and your plastic surgeon. My advice is to be patient and keep doing what you’re doing.Be well and good luck!@norrisplastic

Answer: Lumpy bumpy inner thigh liposuction treated area
It sounds as if your surgeon is being honest and I would respect that. It is quite common to be more swollen, irregular and lumpy at 1 month than it is at 3-6 months so give it time to soften before contemplating surgery.

Answer: Thigh lumps after liposuction
At 1 month after liposuction, this may be normal. Check with your surgeon if you should continue with compression, massage keep waiting. If you do need a revision, you surgeon will most likely want to wait about 6 months to allow for the tissue to soften. Revisions like this are common and can sometimes be done in the office.

Answer: Lumpiness After Liposcution of Inner Thighs
Did you had cellulite or irregularity in your inner thighs before surgery? If you did, it is very difficult to completely correct them.
Having said that, at one month if it too early to judge the final result. I always recommend waiting at least 3-6 months (depending on the progress of the patient) before making a final recommendation.
Be patient!
