I had liposuction performed on my flanks and abdomen in 2015 by a qualified plastic surgeon. I received several opinions and a few told me I didn't need it. I wore a compression garment and did the rolling but my skin nevertheless has the appearance in the attached photos. I never had this wrinkled skin prior to the liposuction. At the time I had the liposuction I was probably 108 lbs and my weight has not really fluctuated from that. Will any procedures help smooth that out? Thank you.

Answer: Skin compromise after liposuction to be honest your skin looks pretty good but considering your age and I'm guessing you don't have children yet your skin could've gotten compromised from the liposuction. When a lot of fat has removed some skin wrinkling it's bound to happen but overall this is generally related to unevenly performed or excessively performed liposuction. Based on your pictures it looks like your upper abdomen and I have been slightly over treated in comparison to the area around your belly button. Without before and after pictures it's hard to know what the changes were. The best option for skin tightening is most likely going to be thermitight or Renuvion J-plasma. If you're ready to shell out another five to $8000 and this may be of some value. I would not recommend any external radio frequency device at this point. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
