My dermatologist had given me a steroid injection into a scar on my leg to flatten it out, but I had a bad reaction to it and suffered fat atrophy. My thigh looked sunken in and discolored in that spot, and I was very self conscious. Dr. Momeni was the second plastic surgeon I saw about correcting this. He recommended that fat be transferred from my abdomen to my thigh to replace the fat that had atrophied. Since I hate anesthesia and am not very squeamish, Dr. Momeni allowed me to do the procedure in the office, so I was awake the whole time. It certainly wasn't fun to have liposuction and the fat injection while awake, but Dr. Momeni, his PA, and nurse Mary were so caring, careful, and professional. I would recommend them for any cosmetic procedure. I am very happy with the results so far and am so glad I had this procedure done after a year of being very self conscious about my leg.
