I had liposuction on my stomach area 15 months ago. The dr was too aggressive (and didn't use tumescent). I now have much rippling that goes up to my rib cage but is really bad below belly button, a "pooch" and excess skin. Have met with the dr who performed the operation. He says a tummy tuck will fix this. I see how it could. My concern is that when the skin that has some rippling above belly button area is pulled down (when doing the tummy tuck), won't that same rippling occur? What should I do for best result?
Answer: Tummy tuck to correct lipo abnormalities Irregularities from very aggressive liposuction are difficult to treat. One of the most gratifying solutions is a tummy tuck, or modified tummy tuck (short incision or low incision variants a possibility).

Answer: Tummy Tuck Can Correct Skin Ripples from Aggressive Liposuction Thank you for your question regarding whether a tummy tuck can address skin ripples after liposuction. Based on your history and picture, yes, an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can often correct skin irregularities and ripples left from overly aggressive liposuction. During a tummy tuck, an incision is made low on the abdomen, and tissue dissection extends up to the rib cage. By detaching the skin from underlying tissues, this allows for a smoother pull and realignment, minimizing or ideally erasing ripples.

Answer: Fat grafting can fix dimpling in the skin after liposuction HI Samantha6566 - It appears as though the rippling in the skin may be fixed with fat grafting. This involves liposuction from the hips or back and then re-injecting the fat into the areas of rippling. As far as tummy tuck goes, it's difficult to asses whether or not you're a candidate from the photo. A tummy tuck can be the standard one with a full incision and muscle tightening or a mini-tuck with a small incision, but still with muscle tightening.

Answer: Liposuction Irregularity Yes it can be helped by having a tummy tuck to an extent though. Your skin will be tighter and you will have less rippling but some of the irregularities will remain at the expense of an incision. Also sinch you dont have that much loose skin you will be left with a small vertical incision somewhere between the new belly button opening and the inferior incision mark. Another approach would be to do a tummy tuck but "float" the belly button where you dont cut around the belly button but simply release it to allow the skin and belly button to move downwards.
