1 year post laser liposuction - Can my legs be corrected and what are my options? (photos)

Question

I’m 57 a year ago I had laser liposuction. I was told I was a good candidate. All I was looking for was to lift my buttocks. I did not want to lose weight or have any else done. I’m 5’10 about 134lbs. My legs I feel look damaged. l am very depressed and humiliated. I feel uncomfortable. It also affects my labia area.

You were not a good candidate for Liposuction and. Your fat distribution was normal, and was not creating problems for you. Your age made you an even worse candidate, because as we age, we lose skin elasticity, and this causes the skin to look worse when the fat is removed. Your provider was either purely selfish or grossly, lacking in skill and experience. 
In reality doing consistent quality, liposuction and fat. Transfer work is far more difficult than most people believe it. The number of plastic surgeons who have mastered this procedure is relatively few. A significant number of plastic surgeons. Do not do liposuction very well despite this most plastic surgeons, think they’re better at Liposuction than they actually are.
When poor results happen providers will reach far to come up with excuses most commonly blaming patients for bad outcomes.
For most patients, I recommend having at least five in person consultations before considering having liposuction. The risk of being disfigured is real and patients should know this before considering having the procedure.
During each consultation, I recommend patient ask providers to show their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar candidacy to get an accurate idea of what results will look like. This means patients who had similar age, similar amounts of body fat, similar skin laxity, etc. etc. An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before and after pictures of commonly performed procedures like liposuction.
Liposuction is a permanent and irreversible operation. Once done a little can be done to improve bad outcomes.
Attempts sometimes tried to improve undesirable. Liposuction results include revision, Liposuction, fat, transfer, or converting the procedure twist skin tightening operation.
In your case, none of these are going to give you a satisfactory results.
I’m sorry that this happened to you. I suggest writing, honest reviews about your experience to help others not make the same decision. I’m sure you would’ve appreciated reading the reviews of previous patients who had similar experiences when you were making the decision and choosing your provider.
In the end, there are two variables that determine Liposuction outcomes. The first is patient candidacy, and the second is the skill and experience of the provider. In the end both are probably equally as important. Worst case scenario is someone who is not a candidate and is treated poorly. In this case dad is unfortunately you.
I wish I could be more optimistic about treatment options, but at this point, I am apprehensive to recommend any treatment that involves further surgery or significant expense.
To get an accurate assessment, always requires having an in person consultation. You can certainly have consultations with providers, but be wary of providers who have quick solutions and feel confident they can easily make your situation better.
There is no easy solution or procedure. They will have a significant improvement.
Minor improvements are sometimes possible and whether that is justified or not, is a discussion that always requires an in person consultation.
I’m sorry this happened to you.
Best,
