What Can Cause a Dimple & a Hard Marble Sized Lump Above It After a TT & Lipo, and Can It Be Fixed? (photo)

       Liposuction may help with the fullness provided this is fat and not an old seroma.  The indentations need to be addressed with fat grafting.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tucks and liposuction procedures and revision procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for the question and picture. As you note, liposuction surgery may help improve the appearance of the upper abdomen in the areas that remain “fatty” but will not improve the appearance of the “dimpled” area. 

 Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource in answering the question about the “dimpled" area;  This may be an area of contour depression after excision of  tissue directly or through liposuction, during the initial topic of procedure. 

 Your discomfort may be caused by a specific nerve caught up in the scar tissue;  see if your plastic surgeon can localize the area of discomfort.  There may be a specific neuroma in the area.

 Be careful that additional liposuction surgery does not create additional contour irregularities. 

 Best wishes.
