Lipo gone wrong - what are my options? (Photo)

Question

I had laser inner thighs, knee, outer thigh and hip. I’m very disappointed with the results of my inner thigh and knee lipo. There’s still pretty much the same amount of fat around my knees and my inner thighs and a dent between my thighs. Doctor told me that because I had two sessions of cool sculpting in my inner thighs, I had scar tissue and it was difficult to perform liposuction. My inner thighs looks the same as they did before the procedure. What are my options?

It doesn't appear like you would really benefit from any more inner thigh liposuction.  If you looked the same before the lipo I would have recommended against it.  You don't have much fat there, and it can easily end up looking worse.

Carey Nease, MD · Answer

Unfortunately the surgeon is correct that following Coolsculpting, liposuction can be difficult. The fat can become fibrous/scarred and hard to remove. Your thighs are pretty thin already so I wouldn't be too aggressive trying to make them better, which can sometimes end up much worse!

This is why lipo under general anesthesia is not great.  You get much better results under local where the patients are able to stand up and get fine tuned right then and there. It is worth traveling to someone who can fix this great.

Hello; if only Laserlipolysis was performed and Liposuction was not implemented; I recommend for you; not to expect for any change. For fat accumulation, inside the legs and knees; "Ultrasonic Lipolysis"; which Vaserlipo is applied and your excess fat can be easily removed.

Nicely posted photos! In cases with previous CoolSculpting I always use lipo with J-Plasma to improve results. Fee $5,000 under IV sedation or light general anesthesia. Best to virtual consult with....
