Had lipo abd years ago, TT with NO MR 3 years ago, would mini TT or lipo help with the lumpy results?

Hello. Great question. Liposuction is primarily used to remove excessive deposits of fat. It is not ideally to get it performed for skin elasticity. A mini tummy tuck involves removal of a small amount of skin and fat below the belly button that addresses only the lower portion of the abdomen. No plication or muscle tightening is performed and belly button remains attached and unchanged. This procedure applies to very few patients and is appropriate only for patients who have loose skin at the inferior aspect, or bottom, of the abdomen. If patients have loose skin above the belly button or muscle laxity, a full tummy tuck would be more appropriate. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

To most accurately answer your question would require an examination. Based on your photos, however, revisonal liposuction done carefully may improve the overall appearance. Skin irregularities are a potential complication of aggressive liposuction and can be quite difficult to correct . Older patients with inelastic skin are at much greater risk to develope the problem. If there is significant skin laxity still present, revisional abdominoplasty may be required . Discuss your results with your surgeon to see what option may be of greatest benefit.
