Discoloration From Liposuction - can this be improved? (Photo)

July 5, 2025
Asked By:Modest359055 in Boston, Massachusetts

I had liposuction 7 months ago and I am still having this terrible discoloration on my abdomen. It hasn’t improved at all over time. The liposuction was clearly overly aggressive. I’ve tried two rounds of vbeam laser and it doesn’t seem to be improving. She used the regular vbeam but I’m thinking about paying more for a dermatologist to use the vbeam perfecta. What else can I do? At this rate I’m just going to tattoo my whole stomach. Also it appears to be vascular and change intensity throughout the day. When I’m cold it looks the worse. When I’m fresh out of the hot shower or have just massaged it, it is barely noticeable.
