I have a dent on my thigh caused by a DPT vaccine while I was young. I would like to know if it can be corrected (Photo)

Hello Phenomenal587287,

Thank you for sharing your concern about the dent on your thigh caused by a DPT vaccine during your childhood. It's understandable that you'd like to explore options for correction.

One possible solution to correct the dent on your thigh is through fat transfer or fat grafting. This procedure involves removing fat from one area of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to the site of the dent to restore volume and smooth out the contour.

I would stay away from any permanent fillers because that could cause migration and further issues in the future.

During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will evaluate the severity of the dent, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. They can also provide information about the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes to help you make an informed decision.

Overall, addressing the dent on your thigh caused by the DPT vaccine is possible with the help of modern aesthetic procedures like fat transfer. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to explore your options further and take steps toward achieving your desired results.

Best of luck on your journey to correction and restoration.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Excess fat above the dent could be removed with liposuction and some fat could be transferred into the dent. It might take 2 separate sessions, but should do well for you.

Hello; this occurred, due to the fibrosis; because of fat necrosis; which is caused by the vaccine; a depression. When the fibrosis at the base is opened; fat; that is taken from the appropriate area is transferred; then it is possible to eliminate for this collapse.
