Is the dimpling on my inner right thigh normal? (photo)

I think a medial thigh lift will make the greatest improvement.I perform dozens of thigh lifts a year. An extended medial thigh lift
may be the procedure for you. An exam would be necessary to confirm.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of
body contouring procedures each year. Look at website before and after
photos and decide which surgeon can give the results you desire. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

You have some skin excess of the inner thighs that probably will not resolve unless a thigh lift is done. In your case, we typically perform an inner thigh lift using a groin crease incision.

It would be essential to assess your pre-op photos to understand how your anatomy and your tissues contribute to what you are seeing. Surgical technique is very important but from your photos it would appear that you have significant skin and soft tissue laxity of the inner thighs. This is not a feature of any one particular type of cannula used during your procedure. Discuss options and expectations with your Plastic Surgeon. Consider another opinion if you need more reassurance. Although complete healing requires more time, it is reasonable to ask questions at this point as your results are not going to substantially improve from here.Liposuction of areas of poor tone will not be made significantly tighter when larger amounts of fat is also being removed. In some cases, liposuction can nicely improve proportions and shape if you are comfortable with the same or worsened laxity. Thigh lifting procedures are indicated when you desire tighter looking contours.

Dimpling like that seen on the inner thigh pictures you show is due to liposuction with large cannulas. See the video and link below for a discussion on cannula types

Than dent represent a bit deeper liposuccion but this area is extremely difficult to treat because fat in this area is naturally very soft plus you had already some degree of flaccid tissue. My humble opinion is you will need in the near future a thigh lift in order to get rid of the saggy skin on inner thighs.Have a great journeyDr. Cardenas

This can happen .I do not know how far along you are post op but looking at your photos maybe a little more lipo or mini thigh lift would help.

In my opinion, Liposuction was part of the procedures to help your inner thighs but according to your picture, it seems to me that an inner thigh lift was needed in order to remove the excess skin from that area and give you a smoother look. Liposuction only removes the fat cells but the excess skin is un touched. My suggestion is to consider this procedure in the future.

The photo you show suggests the need for a thigh lift, but only if your surgery was performed months(not weeks ago). If so garments and compression wont do the job. Was the surgeon who did your liposuction board certified by the American board of plastic surgeon, or not? Did he or she offer a thigh lift with the liposuction, or suggest it afterwards? If the surgeon is credentialed to perform liposuction at a local hospital (not just in an out patient setting) then you are on good hands. Go back to her or him and you will get better answers than we can offer on line. Medial thigh lifts are associated with scars, and scars (though often needed) are not always desirable. If your surgeon is not board certified (in the specialty of plastic surgery) you may want to consult one who is.

Liposuction in your case would contribute to laxity of skin in the inner thighs. You may need a thigh lifting operation...

Technically speaking it takes a full 6 months after Liposuction to say the result is final. It appears that you have some loose skin in the inner thigh area which may actually get worse as the swelling subsides. It is always hard to tell from a photograph. I would encourage you to continue to massage the area and wear compression as you are doing now. If the indentation or laxity is still there at 6 months you may need some revision art surgery or an inner thigh lift.
