Unevenness after inner thigh lipo, what can I do to fix this after a revision? (photo)

Question

I had inner thigh liposuction in May of last year, but after experiencing unevenness and lumps I went back to the clinic to have a revision done in December of last year. However, it still looks horrible! What can I do to fix this? I've been massaging regularly without much improvement.

We specialize in liposuction revision and the inner thighs are hard to correct. I would recommend our Hidef Liposuction Revision which includes liposuction, skin tightening, Liposonix, lipocavitation, and Ultherapy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Contour irregularities after liposuction can occur because of asymmetric removal of fat or gathering up of surplus skin. Improvement depends upon the source of the problem. If excess skin is the issue re-suctioning will have no benefit in might even make things worse.

There are so many techniques to improve liposuction results.   The picture is difficult to evaluate, but I tend to believe that almost anything can be improved.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

To help smooth inner thighs after liposuction, two procedures are of benefit if massage or ultrasound doesn't resolve the unevenness. Some patients will also see improvement with rf devices, but I find that if the area is uneven fat grafting will help fill the low spots and very small amounts of liposuction for the fuller areas if there are any. However the other option would be a thigh lift, however from this photo it does not appear that you have significant excess skin that would require a lift. Maybe seeking a second opinion for  a board certified plastic  surgeon could narrow down the options. Good luck!

Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS · Answer

I'm sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with the results of your
liposuction procedure. Although contour irregularities, which can be caused by
uneven fat removal, are frustrating, they are often treatable with fat grafting
or perhaps a procedure that adjusts your skin. Additional liposuction may not
always be the best option. I recommend getting a second opinion from a
board-certified surgeon who has ample experience with body contouring.

The inner ( medial) thighs is a tough area to treat because often the skin is very thin and there is a delicate balance between treating adequately, having loose skin, undertreating, etc..  Best to be seen in person.
