What can be done about creases and hole from liposuction 6 months post op? (photos)

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.

I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight and then overnight for 3 to 6 months after their procedure. I suggest adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding Vanquish for further fat removal; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.

Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and body shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. ​You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed.

Thank you for your question, based on the pictures the you are a good candidate for love handle liposuction and second round lipo for your upper and lower back improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear alohahoneypie,
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.

It's difficult to give a recommendation with the limited photo. It appears you would be a candidate for liposuction revision which may provide smoother results. You can also consider adding J Plasma to aid in skin tightening. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation and evaluation.

Your picture is a little limited in making a quality assessment. Ideally patients should post proper before and after pictures to get a good assessment on the outcome of a procedure. If you don’t have your before and after pictures ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took.

It looks like you have skin laxity that may be contributing two why the outcome looks the way it does. It also appears that the fat was removed unevenly.

Revision procedures are appropriate when indicated.

The potential impact of a revision procedure is based on the patient’s candidacy and the skill of the surgeon.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
