I had Vaser lipo 360 and inner thighs done in April 2022. I’m now 8 months out and disappointed in the right side. There’s a pocket of squish on my lower abdomen and upper abdomen on the right side. It was uneven from post op day one and I was told it was swelling. At my six month follow up, I didn’t get to see my doctor but his assistant said it was still just swelling because while it was hard underneath it was “smooth”. The right side is harder than my left side. What should I do next?
Answer: Common issue It's not uncommon to have some contour irregularities after liposuction, with or without vaser. Any reputable surgeon should be able and willing to address this issue. If you were my patient I would likely recommend revision lipo, probably with vaser.

CONTACT NOW Answer: I specialize in revision liposuction Dear Blondene, I understand your frustration with the lumps, bumps, irregularities, and loose skin post liposuction. Half the work I do is correcting/enhancing cases such as yours. Although it is a risk everyone’s takes when not doing a tummy tuck, there is still room for improvement. Based on your photos, your lower abdomen, anterior waist, anterior flanks, and possibly anterior hips and pubic could benefit from vaser lipo and Renuvion (JPlasma) if you’re interested in that. I could take anywhere from 50-70% of the remaining fat and do body contouring to snatch your waist. I would need to see you in person to fully examine your skin and scar tissue, and discuss the level of skin retraction we could achieve with the use of the Vaser and Renuvion using my advanced techniques. You are currently over 12 months post now, so it’s an appropriate time to consider this revision. Majority of my patients can do this under local anesthesia. To set up a virtual consultation to discuss this further please call my office at: 925-838-4363. Good luck in your journey! Where ever you go, make sure you select a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in Revision Liposuction. Thanks, Vivek Bansal, MD.

Answer: Vaser lipo reversion I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your Vaser lipo results. If you're still experiencing asymmetry and a pocket of squish on your lower and upper abdomen on the right side, it's important to follow up with your doctor or their assistant to discuss your concerns. You may want to consider scheduling an in-person consultation with your doctor to evaluate your progress and determine whether the unevenness is due to swelling or if further treatment is necessary. If your doctor is not available or you're uncomfortable with their response, you can seek a second opinion from another board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. During your consultation, your doctor may recommend additional treatments, such as touch-up liposuction, to address the unevenness. However, it's important to note that revision surgery can be complex and may come with additional risks, so it's important to weigh the pros and cons carefully before proceeding. In any case, it's crucial to communicate your concerns openly and honestly with your doctor and work together to find a solution that meets your expectations. Best regards, Dr. Mark Tseng

Answer: Candidacy for revision? Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photos, I note patchy areas of relatively minimal soft tissue fullness about the abdomen associated with a degree of lax abdominal skin. As you are only 8 months out from liposuction, one cannot yet differentiate between residual swelling and residual fat (or loose skin). It takes 12-18 months for swelling to subside and for healing to be complete. The "hardness" you are experiencing is most likely residual swelling that has not yet abated. The final result is not yet clear....Allow the swelling and hypervascularity of healing to subside. If the irregularity does not diminish, consider secondary surgery if still concerned. Best wishes...
