I am 7 mo po TT and MR. My upper as bulge like this at night. Will lipo make it go down?
Answer: Liposuction after Tummy tuck Thank you for your question. We will need a front picture to have a better opinion, but based on this picture you appears to be a good candidate for belly liposuction. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: 7 months post-op tummy tuck and I have a bulge on upper abdomen - will liposuction make it go down? Hello, Thank you for the question and photo. The upper bulge may be related to swelling after surgery and/or persistent fat excess. Sometimes liposuction can help improve the contour of the upper abdomen. I would also wait at least a full year from your original surgery prior to undergoing revision surgery because the wound healing takes up to 1 year to be completed. I would definitely discuss your questions and concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: 7 months post op Thank you for your photo and question. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation of your concerns. Your photo suggests that the area that concerns you may be from visceral fat, which is the fat around your organs. This is not treatable with liposuction, but rather is addressed with diet and exercise. Your surgeon will be able to advise you after an examination.

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear babycoconut249, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: 7 months post-op tummy tuck and I have a bulge on upper abdomen - will liposuction make it go down? Hi. It is really difficult to tell for something like that by pictures alone and certainly from the fairly limited picture provided. I would recommend discussing this with the surgeon that did your operation and express your concerns. Based on what your anatomy was beforehand, as well as what was done surgically, as well as the physical exam now, your surgeon should be able to give you good recommendations. You can always get a second opinion in person if needed. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell
