7.5 weeks after, would you consider this to be inner thigh shading, bruising or discoloration? My doctor says it’s just shadin

Question

I had Lipo on my inner thighs 7.5 weeks ago (May 25) my doctor has told me it’s just shading but I can always see it, it seems a lot worse than just shading. I have attached a few different photos in various lighting, I would like other opinions. Thank you or your time

Dear A7E,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease bruising, discoloration, and swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.   This type of discoloration is from agressive liposuction or heating that damages the superficial blood vessels.   We call this erythema ab liposuction and has no cure.   You can try RF treatments or vascular lasers to try and help give improvement.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
