Inner leg dent/slope after liposuction. How can this be fixed? (photos)

Question

I underwent tumenscent lipo of my inner and out thighs with a board certified plastic surgeon on 6/8/18. Since then, I've noticed a horizontal dent on the back of my left leg that wraps around to the medial aspect of my inner thigh. The dent is a subtle slope and casts a long horizontal shadow. I've tried reaching out to my surgeon but won't be able to get answers until my appointment in a few months. Are dents like mine difficult to fix? How can this be revised? I appreciate your feedback thanks

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. At six weeks post op, its too early to consider a revision. There is still swelling present. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

A small amount of fat can be injected back into that area, or it can be treated with Sculptra injections. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Susan Buenaventura, MD, FACS · Answer

Contour defects after liposuction can be corrected with fat grafting, filler, or sometimes massage and tincture of time.  Massage (light) can only help smooth the skin so is a good idea.  Most surgeons wait 6 months before deciding if revision is appropriate.
