What are the best procedures to treat contour irregularities post liposuction?

Asked By:kerrieleighm in Pittsburgh, PA

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?
