I had lower abdominal lipo. I developed fibrosis despite 20 massages. I also feel like it was botched. I need options/I need to know if this is fixable? Am I going to need a tummy tuck? If so, is 6 months post op too soon?

Answer: Abdominal lipo From the photos the best way to address your concerns is a tummy tuck. You may want to wait longer to allow the scar tissue to soften more before deciding if you want to undergo the tummy tuck. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Likely the Best Option for Post-Lipo Irregularities There is a noticeable degree of contour irregularity below the belly button, along with skin laxity both above and below it. Based on what I see, your best option would be a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck would likely be insufficient—it would only address a small portion of the irregularity and wouldn't provide the improvement you're looking for. In your case, it wouldn’t be worthwhile. As for timing, six months post-op is generally an appropriate window to start considering corrective surgery. Dr. B.
