After having liposuction 5 years ago on my torso and inner thighs I've been left with banding under my skin, bumpy purple marks that don't go away... ever. It's sad because it has ruined my self confidence and my ability to wear a bikini or short top. (Think Tara Reid). What can be done to correct the bumpy, irregular skin, permanent purple bruising, and empty bumpy skin left on my inner thighs?

Answer: Revision Liposuction Thank you for your question. Overly aggressive liposuction, especially of sensitive areas without much skin elasticity such as the inner thighs, can lead to contour irregularities as you mention. On rare occasion the answer is more liposuction to even out the areas, but in the case of the medial thighs where skin is less elastic and fat has already been removed, your options as I see them would be fat transfer (modestly) to help improve the texture and contour, vs. potentially a skin tightening treatment such as J-Plasma combined with with scar release. I wish you the best of luck and please see only a board certified plastic surgeon to help go over your options.

Answer: VASER Liposuction Revision The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
