I had smart lipo on my stomach in May 2010. There were a few high spots so he did a touch up in Aug 2010. The high spots were still there so he went in one more time Dec 2010 just with the cool lipo laser, no lipo. He felt he could just melt the fat in the high spots and it would absord back in the body. Now in Feb. the high spots are still there, not as bad but my stomach looks like cottage cheese now. Everything is soft, no hard feelings or anything, just lumpy cottage cheese looking, advise??
Answer: Contour deformities after liposuction
After evaluating your pictures, it appears as though the valleys are caused by overresection of fat. Given the fact that there was not much fat to start with, it may be unwise to perform further lipo. Fat injections into these over treated areas would likely give you the best result. Wait at least 6-9 months before any corrective surgery is performed.

Answer: Asymmetry and putting after Botched liposuction Thank you for the question and pictures. the problem that you have is that a large gauge cannula was inserted or placed in the wrong plane witch leads to this kind of results. It can be improve with Vaser high def Lipo with fat grafting to the putted areas. This might require several sessions of fat grafting.

Answer: Multiple liposuction revisions
At this time, not too long after three procedures, all within a short period, you should rest for six months. Let the subcutaneous tissue heal. Then, see what is depressed, and what is elevated. You may need fat injections or you may need deep tissue massage such as with Velashape. It is not possible to be sure without an examination if you had underremoval in a few areas or overresection in some, or both. If you have more surgery now, you might be removing too much fat which can increase problems with the overlying skin.

Answer: Contour deformity after Smartlipo
First, of all, please stop having procedures on your belly. You need to let the tissues settle and the scar tissue (under the skin) mature for at least 6 to 12 months. This is a difficult situation with over-resection of fat from the superficial layer. You may benefit in the future from fat injections or other procedures, but it will be a multi-staged process and it is difficult to predict the results at this point. Hang in there and good luck.
