Tummy Lipo Revision to Correct Lumpiness?

Considering tummy lipo correction by well known & highly accredited/acclaimed PS in Bev Hills for slight lumpiness. They are just below b-button. He thinks he can even things out and "etch" the rest of the stomach area. Know he is skilled, but wondering if lumpiness is b/c of my "chemistry" and wether there is likelihood that I will get more/worse not because of him but because of my makeup? He has already performed lipo revison on legs and was very happy with results. Thin and fit for 40.

Abdominoplasty revision liposuction

This is a common area to have a small amount of extra fat after a tummy tuck. Surgeons are often reluctant to remove as much fat as possible from the area just below the umbilicus as it may decrease the blood supply and create even bigger problems. In my practice I will often try to improve the result with a non invasive technique (such as Exilis or Thermage) since there is no downtime. However, your board certified surgeon is probably the best one determine what will work best for you... more
