I got lipo on my stomach last November. I have this bumpy skin on the middle of my stomach.. the second picture you can see it more when I suck in. What is this?
Answer: Contour irregularities What you are looking at is a "contour irregularity," which can result from uneven aspiration of fat during liposuction. This causes divots, depressions, and a wavy appearance of the skin. There could also be a component of "internal scarring," which is caused by surgical trauma or the application of internal energy during liposuction. Internal scarring causes skin tethering, tightness, or changes with position. These deformities can be corrected through secondary liposuction, with possible fat grafting.

Answer: Treating "Bumpy Skin" after Abdominal Liposuction It is hard to tell much from your pictures, but it appears that you still have a lot of excess fat on your abdomen and excess skin on the lower abdomen. If this is true, then there could be a couple of problems. You appear to have residual fat from an incomplete liposuction that could be corrected with further liposuction. You also, perhaps, may have enough excess skin that you may have been a better candidate for an abdominoplasty than liposuction alone. You may, therefore, need an abdominoplasty with liposuction. To determine what you need to do you need to see an experienced plastic surgeon who is an expert in both liposuction and abdominoplasty.
