Will hardness ever go away after abdominal liposuction?

sounds like you need a revision procedure, likely skin removal and scar tissue removal to get improvement.  I suggest you see an expert who is trained in botched procedures.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Sorry to hear about your results, but sometimes there is sagging of skin after liposuction and fat harvesting for BBL. The hardness may resolve with time. However if you do undergo Tummytuck, both of these issues should be resolved. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Dear kelsiebells,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.While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result. I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hi,
Thank you for your question. It's hard to answer this question without examining you first and feeling the areas to determine what it could be. Often times it could be scar tissue or swelling, we recommend lymphatic massages on the Liposuction areas to soften the scar tissue. We also recommend compression garment from 8 AM to 8 PM for 3 months to help with the swelling. If your concerned about the loose skin then you might want to consider a Tummy Tuck, this will solve all of your problems. Best of luck!  

Hey there,After liposuction parts of skin appear hard. This a normal occurrence and eventually the skin tends to soften down, and the skin tends to become lax if it's not too elastic. This is exactly what's happening in your case. You will have to massage the treated areas adequately multiple number of times in a day and also do manual lymphatic drainage along said lines. This will ensure faster recovery. Once the entire skin over the abdomen is uniformly soft and supple and if hasn't achieved he expected amounts of shrinkage or if it's too saggy then a tummy tuck can be planned accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.  It’s hard to answer your question without examining you and feeling that area. With that said it could be scar tissue or swelling. Have you tried massaging the area? How long did you wear your compression garment? TT will address your loose skin nicely. Good luck.DrMaz
