A: Liposuction for body contouring

By Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Yes, repeat liposuction is probably what you need. I would need to see some photos to determine if you also need some skin excision as well. After liposuction, fat can be distributed to the areas that were liposuctioned, so recurrence can occur. Either way, consult with several plastic... more

A: I think you are being unrealistic with Liposuction

By David E. Berman, MD - Sterling Plastic Surgeon

For fear of being insensitive to your feelings, 1 inch is not very much. Granted, I have no pictures of you but I would guess many people who have not undergone liposuction would have differences of that much between legs. Also, the skin tone is not going to be identical between each buttock. I think you are... more

A: Liposuction and fat injections to improve symmetry.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! This is one of those questions that is really hard to answer without examining you, but my guess is that a combination of good liposuction and fat injections can improve your symmetry and contour.

A: banana roll under my left buttocks and my right butt cheek crease, which is approx. 1 inch lower now

By Peter A. Aldea, MD - Memphis Plastic Surgeon

As you probably know, liposuction is not a cure for obesity or aging with gravitational descent. Like most procedures in Plastic surgery it attempts but rarely succeeds in achieving any meaningful symmetry - because there is NO symmetry in nature. We are all asymmetric in so many ways.

A: Liposuction asymmetries common when done under general anesthesia

By David Hansen, MD - Beverly Hills Dermatologic surgeon

Liposuction should help your situation a lot but you can't get it done under general anesthesia if you want to fix those problems. Also, you need to have the doctor use the micro canulas so you get the smoothest results possible. Expect to pay about $5000-5500 to smooth out the areas.

A: Liposuction revision

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Everyone has asymmetry. The likelihood that one buttock crease was lower or higher than the other is very possible. In addition, one leg is always larger than the other.

A: Possibly

By Scott E. Kasden, MD - Dallas Plastic Surgeon

If the defect is due to asymmetry of fat deposits, then yes, it can be fixed. If there is something other than fat causing the problem, then, no. An examination will quickly determin the cause and if you go to a skilled plasatic surgeon, you should be able to get an improvement, though don't expect... more

A: Long term post liposuction problems

By John P. Stratis, MD - Harrisburg Plastic Surgeon

11 years is a long time and many of the changes that you are seeing are influenced by the aging process. You should also know that asymmerty is very normal and may be due to underlying muscle and bone differences. It sound like you would need selective liposuctioning combines with fat grafting or a lift... more

Chances are that you may end up with more excess skin if only the fat is removed. See an experienced liposuction surgeon to evaluate your specific problem.

A: Liposuction results after 11 years

By Richard P. Rand, MD - Seattle Plastic Surgeon

Our bodies are inherently asymmetrical. One inch of difference between the thighs might just be at least parly this natural asymmetry and so might the banana roll you describe. Also, 11 years includes alot of aging and lost elasticity and your name "chocoholic" suggests that you might be... more
