Will Thigh Implants Fix Overdone Thigh Liposuction?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am  interested in thigh and leg implant/augmentation. I had a BBL three years ago.

There was fat grafted to my thighs but it didn’t all stay and I don’t want to risk that happening again which is why I think I would be better suited for implants

Ultimately I just want to be more proportionate on my lower half

I don’t wear shorts or dresses that expose my legs because they are so thin compared to the rest of my body.

A: While I would agree that thigh implants are your only potentially effective treatment option there are some reservations I have in your case. It appears that the greatest deficiency is in the lateral thigh where such implants have their greatest complications due to their more superficial location. (implant show/edging) Thigh implants work best in the anterolateral thigh where they are placed under the fascia…but this appears to be of less aesthetic value in your case.
