I had lipo 7 mo ago and I am more and more dissatisfied at the way my tummy is looking. Is there any hope of fixing it? (photo)

A touch up of liposuction will help improve irregularities. I recommend a hi-definition procedure. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, and smoothing. I suggest a consult with a hi-def physique liposuction expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for the question. After Liposuction surgery, 3-9 months you still see progress in the performance of the surgery. After 1 month you will still have swellings and it is still early to say something about the final result. You should follow up the progress with your surgeon. I wish you all the best.

From the photographs it looks as though you had previous pregnancies. Laxity of the abdominal wall and the redundant skin and stretch marks are not addressed by liposuction. The stretch marks are areas where there is no elasticity in the skin and contour irregularities are predictable when liposuction is performed alone. Correction will probably involve an abdominoplasty.

If you had loose skin prior to suctioning, then this is the result you will probably get. Judging only by the single photo, I think you may need an abdominoplasty to get the flat abdomen you wanted.

Good luck,

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated.  Though based only on your picture it appears that you have skin excess and laxity along your lower abdomen which would better be treated with a skin excision procedure like a tummy tuck rather than liposuction.  I would review your desired results with your surgeon and then seek an in-person second opinion with another ASPS board certified plastic surgeon.  Hope this helps.
