Asked By:194856 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am a female in my mid-thirties with skin and subcutaneous atrophy on my left leg caused by morphea (localized scleroderma). I'm looking to correct the asymmetry and am also looking for a doctor in the Toronto area who has previous experience treating morphea patients. Will fat transfer and liposuction help? Or will the fat transfer not take/become hard and lumpy?
