Dent is from a freak accident with a pellet gun.
Answer: I have a hideous hard dent in my upper right thigh: Can my thigh be corrected? Thank you for the question. The picture does not do a great job of showing the area as a whole. I would advise being seen for a consultation. It is possible that if there are areas of contour irregularity, there may be options for improvement such as scar release and fat grafting, but an in-person exam would be necessary to determine those options.Good luck!

Gunshot injuries can cause both fat necrosis and also tethering of skin to muscle, Scar contraction etc. A physical examination can assess it better. There are various option from scar tissue excision, subscision, fat grafting to correct contour deformities. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Dent in thigh? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey In my opinion, the simplest way to improve this area would be to use a filler. You can determine if it will be successful by pulling on the edges of the scar and seeing if the scar lifts. If the scar doesn't lift, you may need a simple procedure called subcision to break up the tethers that are holding the scar. Then, Try a short-term filler first to determine if you are happy with the results. You can then continue the short-term filler or try something like Belafil which will give you permanent results.
