I had Vaser liposuction of the inner thighs 2 months ago. I wore compression continuously & had weekly lymphedema massage. The results are now very uneven. . My surgeon wants to correct this by only re-suctioning small amount of upper inner right thigh at 4 mo post-op.. I'm concerned that my final results will still be uneven if they leave the left side alone. How would you correct this for best outcome? Would Coolsculpting, Ultrashape, or other less invasive correction methods work?
