Options for bad lipo and cortisone atrophy repair? (Photo)

Dear Intellectual661024,

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.

Hello
In my opinion, your current condition is quite good. I would recommend not putting in more effort. Corticosteroid injections thin the dermis and weaken the epidermis. For this reason, systems that work with heat, such as RF or CoolSculpting, could cause unexpected results under the skin. You might consider using PLA injections like Sculptra or Lanluma to strengthen the collagen under the skin.

Thank you for your question and including the detailed pictures. Sorry to hear about your tough year! First of all, Absolutely Do Not Do Coolsculpting!The last thing you need is to kill more fat and cause more scar tissue. What I would recommend is Subcission of the scar tissue under your skin where the dents are and a little fat grafting to fill in the defect. If you have areas where you would like more fat removal, that can be done at the same time.
