Skin Saggy After Liposuction
I've done a liposuction in December 2009. My surgeon injected about 4 liters tumescent fluid and removed 1 1/2 liters of fat. After 6 months my tummy looks smaller, but it has no shape, I have no waist, and my skin is saggy. My doctor says it's connective tissue. What is your opinion? Thanks!

Loose skin after liposuction
Your skin might obtain some tightening with the use of Thermage external radiofrequency. It is not the same as a tummy tuck tightening but it won't leave the scar that a tummy tuck will produce.

Fat is not the only thing determines your abdominal contour
You may need to undergo a tummy tuck for removal of excess skin laxity and possible muscle repair in order to achieve a greater improvement in abdominal contours. Of course, there are other factors that help determine the shape of your abdomen including visceral fat collections and bone structure.

Liposuction and loose skin
Sometimes the skin quality is not good. When you liposuction with poor quality skin, the skin becomes looser. You may need a skin excision procedure.

Tummy tuck may help after liposuction.
Hi.
More liposuction will not help. Tummy tuck will improve contour and tighten skin, but you have to accept long scar.
