Would revision liposuction to the knees and thighs make my results worse? Dent on one side and lump on the other (photo)

Question

Hi Very disappointed in my lipo results. I did ask my surgeon if it could be fixed. He doesn't think it's worth it. Can make the problem worse? I had lipo with Renuvion to my medial knees and thighs. I have a dent in my left knee and a lump on the right side. I am 49 years old. Also an athlete which is why this really bothers me! I was told it would go away in time through all of my post ops, but it didn't really. Should i get a second opinion? I like my Dr., so this is hard for

Please submit better and closer photos in front and side views or go for another consultation. We need better photos to really tell.

The inner thigh often does not respond as well to Liposuction as many people would’ve hoped.
The number of plastic surgeons who approach master of Liposuction is also quite small.
Personally, I don’t think Renuvion adds anything of value, but there are others who are still touting the device as delivering skin tightening.
If you look at your knee, I think your skin is looser so again, I don’t think Renuvion delivers
Your results are actually not that bad.
Perhaps your provider was a little aggressive around the knees.
I’ve certainly seen much worse.
If you want a second opinion consultation, the schedule though is in person second opinion consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community.
For second opinion consultations come prepared to bring with you a complete set of property before and after pictures and a copy of your previous operative report. I generally recommend people avoid virtual consultations whenever possible.
If too much fat is removed during the first procedure then improving the out, becomes very very difficult.
Best,
