Huge rolls only when sitting down. Already had liposuction. What could be wrong? (Photo)

Question

3/5/15 I had lipo flanks, abdomen inner thighs. Stomach is great when I stand up but when i sit down I now have WAY MORE rolls than before. Prior I had NONE just a bottom pudge. When I stand up my stomach is tight & mostly flat. What could be wrong? I know i needed a TT to correct my navel area but when i stand up & pull on my skin there is barely any rolls in my hand, but once I sit down they appear.... Any board certified offices that accept in house financing for out of state patients?

Either there is too much skin remaining that has not tightened and then you need either external skin tightening or skin removal, or there is more fat there that should be removed. I suggest speaking to your physician if you are worried or getting a second opinion.  It takes month to see your final outcome from surgery as well.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I rarely suction abdomens for this reason. If the skin does not snap back, then you end up with loose skin you did not have before. If it does not get better, then an abdominoplasty will fix it.Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Liposuction generally does not result in significant skin tightening so if there was excess skin before, this will still be present after surgery.  However, if you only had the procedure in March there could still be improvement in your appearance for several months.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

when fat is removed the skin does not always snap back as much as we would like so it may be that your skin has not tightened as much

Oliver Pope Simmons, MD, FACS · Answer

Front your pictures. It does appear that your skin doesn't appear to have much tone.  Liposuction works wonders to remove volume at fixed locations especially when the skin has elasticity and tone to contract after the procedure.  The reason you may notice more told is because the skin has not contracted after the procedure.   Based on your picture, you do appear to be a candidate for a tummy tuck. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me regarding your potential results after a tummy tuck !thanks
