Hello, I have lipo about 4-5 months ago but I'm so so with my results and unsure if this is fibrosis or just swelling from the drain. Would you recommend I undergo vaser/laser lipo for the fat pockets that remained to achieve a flat smooth look or should I just start to consider a tummy tuck ( I've never been pregnant )

Answer: Problems after liposuction Dear lm_Gabby,I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. The revision can often be done under local as well.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Lipo 4-5 months post-op I notice some irregularity in your abdominal area. It also appears that your upper abdominal area was not treated with the liposuction. I would wait a few more months until it is settled. I would encourage getting some massage for that area to break down the unevenness. Otherwise you can get some procedures done like the mini abdominalplasty to smooth out the skin contour. But before you proceed with the mini abdominalplasty I would wait several months, maybe up to a year.
