What can help me fix my botched belly Liposuction? (photos)

Pending a formal evaluation, you may be a good candidate for a Revision Liposuction. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.

The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. For a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), we inject the fat into the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with a combination of QWO or Cellfina, subcision, and/or fillers such as Bellafill, Renuva synthetic fat, or Sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin. Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear bellybelly99,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

We would suggest Morpheus8 Body. We have had success in our office with skin tightening and cellulite reduction with the Morpheus8 Body. Emsculpt NEO may also help to build muscle and get rid of some excess fat In that area.

Only in person consults allow a determination if Sculptra/Radiesse combination injections can correct dentings or a skin only TT would. Be sure to seek out an experience private practice boarded PS with cases as yours.

You will most benefit from a. combination of high definition VASER liposuction, Renuvion J Plasma skin tightening, and surgical excision of your excess skin.

The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Your problem is an uneven fat distribution from previous inappropriate Liposuction.

To correct your abdominal contour problem has to Address fat distribution.

The treatments you were listed are not going to have an impact on the Fed distribution. Treatment options typically come down to revision Liposuction, fat transfer or a combination of the two.

The surgeon who couldn’t do the primary procedure was allowed to attempt to correct it which is noble but the person didn’t have the skill to do Primary Liposuction and Revision work is many times more difficult than primary Liposuction.

Revision work should only be done by providers who have many years of experience in a proven track record with Liposuction. Even then it may not be possible to restore the abdominal wall to pre-procedure or to the extent that you wish.

It is a very difficult problem in the best way to avoid it is to properly that plastic surgeons before committing to having permanent and to some degree irreversible procedures.

Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than people believe. Patients need to carefully vet providers and compare surgeons before committing to having Liposuction.
