Upper pouch stomach question (Photo)

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. It can be distressing when the results of a procedure aren’t what you expected. Here are some possibilities that may explain the appearance you’re noticing after liposuction:

Residual Fat Deposits: Liposuction can sometimes leave uneven areas if there are small pockets of fat that were not fully removed, leading to an uneven contour.

Scar Tissue Formation: Post-surgical healing can lead to the formation of scar tissue beneath the skin, which might cause visible lines or uneven texture.

Skin Elasticity: Depending on your skin's elasticity, it might not have retracted evenly after the procedure, contributing to the appearance of an upper pouch.

Postoperative Swelling: If the procedure was recent, residual swelling could still be affecting the final contour. This can take several months to fully resolve.

To address these issues, I recommend consulting with your original surgeon or seeking a second opinion from a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your specific situation and discuss potential corrective options, such as revision liposuction or non-surgical treatments, to help achieve your desired results.

Best regards,
