My inner thigh Lipo clearly went wrong. What's the easiest, cheapest, least traumatic, way to fix it. Any suggestion? (photo)

Question

So my right leg has this huge dent and saggy fat pockets. Both legs could also have used a little more taken out of the top and bottom as both have pretty extreme indentation in the middle. Though I'm more concerned with getting rid of the irregularities. I also have these hideous scars in the middle of my thigh. So is a revision the only way to fix this? If so could the canula be entered from around my panty line so I don't have to reopen the original wounds?

I appreciate your question.I would consider revision lipo to fat equalize and then fat graft the depressed areasThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

From the photograph alone it's difficult to say with the issue is. It appears as though there is a depression where liposuction may have been excessive. If this is the case fat grafting will be necessary. What does your surgeon say?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Revision with fat grafting is something I perform with very nice improvement.  I would search for the surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you
the best results. Look at reviews and before and after pictures on that
surgeon's website. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

BunnyFlop,I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience and I definitely see what you are talking about.Fixing this problem is a challenge. You will likely need repeat liposuction with fat grafting and scar revision. Alternative hidden scars are also an option to get access to this area but its difficult to tell where your scars are now from the photo.I would recommend a consultation with a plastic surgeon.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

Medial thigh liposuction is difficult even for those of us with years of experience.   If too much is taken the skin is wrinkled and not attractive.  If too little is taken the bulge still remains.   I tell all patients that medial thigh liposuction is a modest improvement  surgery but certainly not a cure.   Lateral thigh may be nearly a cure in contrast.   So you have  wrinkled skin, a lower dent, and still a bulge.    Of course we do not have pre operative photos so we cannot make judgement.  More lipo is unlikely to help.  Some fat grafting may remotely help the dents.  Some application of Vaser ultrasound may shrink the skin a little.  Or you may need to consider a thigh lift.  See several ABPS surgeons and consider your options.   My Best,  Dr C
