What can help my thighs? (Photo)

Your concerns are echoed by many women especially after weight gain, weight loss, and childbearing. However, the dimpling of the skin is one of the most difficult problems to fix in plastic surgery. From a non-invasive standpoint, I think Morpheus is likely to be your best bet as it combines powerful radiofrequency with microneedling. From a more invasive standpoint, fat grafting would likely give you the best result, however it appears that you only have a modest amount of fat to harvest and inject. If you have already had invasive skin tightening devices, I would not pursue further invasive treatments as this is likely to result in minimal further gain.

Hello Looseskinbgone in Seattle, WA. Thank you for your question regarding what can help your thighs.

In examining your pictures, it appears that you have skin dimples. This condition can result from areas that were over-liposuctioned or, in some cases, due to genetic factors. Since the problem lies in the indentations, the best course of action would be to fill these areas. The indentations can be filled with either off-the-shelf fillers or your own natural fat. Using natural fat can provide a more lasting and natural-looking result.

Further liposuction may exacerbate the condition, making the dimpling and lumps more pronounced. Additionally, a thigh lift seems too extreme for your specific case as it primarily addresses excess skin rather than localized dimples and lumps.

Considering your concerns, the most effective approach would be to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in body contouring. They can help you determine whether fat transfer or another filler is the best option to achieve smoother, more even skin texture.

I hope this answers your questions regarding what to do about the dimpling and indentations on your thighs after liposuction. Good luck!

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

I encourage you to begin by researching board certified plastic surgeons near you. Review before/after photos and schedule consultations with those that meet your criteria. Morpheus8 can help smooth overall skin tone and texture. Three treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results. You can also consider Aveli for cellulite. It's important for you to understand at the end of the consultation what you can expect from results.
