60 year old woman - Ultherapy has permanently ruined my knees & thighs

I'm a 60 year old woman. Plastic surgeon performed liposuction on inner knees and upper patellar region in order to harvest fat for placement elsewhere. Too much fat was harvested above knees, leaving me with bulbous and fatty knees and severe wrinkling and sagging above knees and in thighs.

In attempting to correct the wrinkling and sagging on upper thighs, above knees, my Plastic Surgeon suggested Ultherapy. I agreed to give it a try. The proceedure was performed by the office licenced skin care specialist.

It was so painful, and after sessions were done, I came back for evaluation and said to her that I looked much worse now than before it was done. 

She seemed uncomfortable looking at my results and stupidly offered the comment..." well now it looks like you have some muscle tone above your knee." 

The fact being that in her unskilled hands, she did not only not tighten my skin, but she destroyed fat in several areas above my knees and far up into my inner thighs.

I'm too ashamed to wear a bathing suit, and I live at the shore and always loved to swim. 

I play golf at least 3 times a week.I can't find golf skirts long enough to cover my ugly legs. I try sewing some myself. It's so stressful living like this.
