Uneven thighs post Liposuction. (photo)

BeachBabe111Jul 6, 2014
I recently got liposuction and was told that uneven results were a possibility due to skin sagging. I hoped to avoid this but as you can see, my inner thighs are uneven. What is the best way to treat this? Ultherapy (off-label)? Thread lift? Thigh tuck?

If I understand you correctly, these two issues make you a poor candidate for liposuction. It would be unsafe for you to proceed.

In reviewing your pictures, it looks like you have had liposuction. As part of the healing process, the body generates swelling fluid and immature collagen, or scar tissue, in the areas operated upon. This causes tightness and burning. Over time, the swelling will go away and the collagen will...

Although most surgeons provide narcotics for postoperative pain relief after liposuction they are still needed. In my practice Tylenol or Motrin are completely acceptable.

Thanks for the question. After a week your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Something is amiss if you have an open wound 40 days after liposuction. My guess is that the liposuction was assisted by a laser or ultrasound which is created a significant thermal injury to the skin. You should consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for proper care.

In the short-term contour regularities after liposuction are common. As long as the trend is favorable there's no reason to panic. The final result may not emerge for six months to a year.
