I was in a small motorcycle accident 6 years ago. I had no major injuries but developed a hematoma on my right thigh. It has healed and I have no pain from it, but it left a lump on the outside of my thigh which causes a large dimple on my thigh as well. I was curious how this lump could be removed - is this something that could be resolved with liposuction? Or would something else need to be done due to the nature of the tissue?

Answer: Body Contouring Liposuction is not really a good approach for removing scar tissue. Scar tissue is best removed by direct excision. Unfortunately, this can leave you with a scar overlying the area. Injection with scar reducing steroid or hyaluronidase may help. Fat transfer to the dimple may improve the balance of the region. Your situation is best analyzed in person.

Answer: Liposuction for Bump from Hematoma--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting This is difficult to answer without pictures, but liposuction can be used to improve this. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned and even result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Thigh Hematoma It is really difficult to say without an exam. Liposuction can certainly be used to removed old blood and fluid, however, given that your incident was 6 years ago, it is more likely scar tissue that you have developed, not fat.However, it would be best to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a proper exam performed.
