I had lipo on my upper/lower abs 6 mo ago. I developed a "donut" around my belly button from it. My surgeon mentioned putting 2 incisions around my belly button pre-surgery but ended up not doing so. The "donut" is not just skin, it's pretty fatty and firm. When I poke my finger into my belly button, I can feel scar tissue. How do I get this flattened/corrected WITHOUT a tummy tuck? What qualifications and methods should I look for when consulting w/ a surgeon?

Answer: First heal, then tummy tuck You do not get to pick the procedure you may happen to like and expect a good result if that procedure was the wrong one. You were not an ideal candidate for liposuction in the first place, but some doctor with poor ethics did it to you anyway. The only path to a great abdomen is a tummy tuck. If you go to the right surgeon, the scar will be very, very low and fine. Your abdomen will be tight and sculpted.

Answer: How to Address Donut Shape After Liposuction: Solutions and Considerations Donut shape can be due to extensive fibrosis associated with less lymphatic massages, and extensive use of VASER Liposuction. I believe your problem can be handled with good redo liposuction with probably a mini tuck. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon operating at a good facility is imperative.
