How do I get rid of wrinkled skin after inner thigh lipo?

November 8, 2016
Asked By:sue04090 in Maine, ME

I had lipo on inner thighs 8 months ago. The skin now is wrinkled and looks terrible. Other than a thigh lift, is there anything I can do to tighten skin? My plastic surgeon said there would be no wrinkles and I would have a gap between thighs. Now I have gross wrinkles and no gap. I am 55 years old.
