3 yrs post op, I have dents and cellulite looking skin after Liposuction on legs. Any suggestions? (photos)

ed2015Mar 24, 2015
I am a 23 year old slim female. After lipo my legs looked like they had severe cellulite. I looked into cellulaze and booked an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who told me the bumpy skin texture was actually from lipo dents not cellulite, and that there was nothing I could do to fix it because of scar tissue in the leg. Everytime someone looks at me I feel as if they are noticing my horrible legs. Willing to travel to a doctor who feels confident in improving my situation.

This is a very common complaint in my practice and this area gets amazing results with properly performed liposuction.  This area will retract fantastically if you do it early enough.  With too much loose skin it will not.  you are a great candidate and would benefit from full arm...

Hello, thanks for your question!It is normal to experience swelling 4 weeks after liposuction.   I will encourage you to continue to wear your garment around the clock and give your body a chance to heal.  Swelling after liposuction can take several months to completely go away....

There's always swelling and inflammation after liposuction and it can make the treated areas seem lumpy and bumpy. That almost always goes away with time, unless there is some retained fat that may benefit from a small finessing procedure. Be patient. It will take months to see the final result....
