Uneven inner thighs after liposuction. What can be done to even them out? (Photo)

Dear virgo1970,

Thank you for your clinical post and photograph. Certain areas of the body such as the inner
thigh and the upper arm and the upper abdomen can be prone to irregularities,
indentations, fullness and even skin laxity following liposuction. SmartLipo and other thermal liposuction
techniques such as the BodyTite are excellent ways to give a thermal
coagulation of the fat and induce a soft tissue contraction of somewhere
between 17% and 30% one year following the surgery. Overall, correction is still predicated upon
the liposuction surgeon’s ability to visualize the three-dimensional shape of
your figure, shape and form while performing the surgery.

If you’ve waited one year and you have tried visiting with
your surgeon and engaging in some sort of topical heating system such as Venus
Freeze, Forma Plus BodyFx, Exilis or Thermage can provide some improvement and
the inner thigh skin tightness and facilitate and synergize some of the fat
irregularities. It appears the left
upper inner thigh has more fullness in the right and I can’t truly appreciate
the skin laxity with this quality of photograph.

I would seek out the advice first of your operative physician
and make sure they have a plan in place that leaves you filled with confidence
that your concerns can be addressed.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
