Some mild unevenness after liposuction - Is there anything less complicated than surgery I can do? (photos)

Question

I had Lipo in March or this year on my muffin top area, in her I have been pleased with the outcome, however I ended up with a small bump on my right flank area. I did go visit my doctor a month back and he felt as if it was just the way my hips and body was shaped but I can feel bumps under this spot and the bump is about 2” below the top of my hip so I don’t believe it is just a protrusion from my atatomy. Also it’s only on the one side. Is there anything less complicated than surgery I can do

Hello @RSProfile5019494, thank you for your question. A personalized assessment of the process is necessary to have a non surgical protocol or a surgical plan if necessary that takes into account a number of factors, including what you expect and what you may be able to accomplish. To determine the best course of action, a personalized consultation is necessary, in which all aspects are considered. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS.

Dear RSProfile5019494,
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.

Thanks for your question. It does appear you have a great result from your liposuction. Massaging the bumps will help to lessen them. If that doesn't work, then a touch up liposuction procedure should do the trick. It is usually best to wait about a year for a touch up.
Best of luck!

Overall I must say you have a great post-op result. You can try some non surgical modalities like cool sculpting or sculpsure to try and and even out that one spot but those modalities will only really work if there is some excess fat tissue under the skin. If it's just some skin laxity you may want to try something a RF and microneedling treatment that may help to tighten up that skin. The last option is a little touch up lipo and for that small area it can probably be done awake

Yes it appears as a hip dip that can be injected in 1-3 sessions with combination Radeisse/Sculptra. Expect fees per sessions $4,000 ranges.
