Is it possible my inner thigh lipo was done through a different incision site?

Question

I had a BBL and inner thigh lipo. My incisions were, 1 through belly button, 2 (1 on each side) on my pubic area, one center back, and then two (one on each side) at the top of my butt (for fat transfer). I don’t see a difference in inner thigh, nor were incisions made that are typically made in association with inner-thigh lipo. Is it possible to have gone through an aforementioned incision?

Thank you so much for your question. After a Inner thigh liposuction you will be having inflammation and swelling that will not help you to see a different right away. About your incisions your surgeon knows better from where he perform the lipo in your inner thigh. 
Hope this helps

Dear Genuine655030,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I would ask your surgeon how the fat was removed. The pubic incisions may have been used to remove the inner thigh fat.  If you have soreness in the area after surgery, then you had liposuction.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Inner thigh liposuction is typically performed with an incision in the crease of the groin and/or elsewhere on the leg.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  You can also request a copy of your operative report which details what was performed during your procedure.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

You should be able to do a straight line from the incision to the area treated. if that’s not possible then it’s not possible to treat the area.
Areas treated with Liposuction are typically tender, swollen and bruised for at least a week or two after treatment.
I suggest you follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her.
You can also ask for a copy of your medical record which will have a copy of your operative report which should in detail describe the procedure.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
