Can lipo and fat transfer correct asymmetry in leg caused by morphea? (Photo)

194856Feb 21, 2022
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?
