If this is cellulite its genetic and can be treated with a combination of cellfina and other treatments like sculptra, fillers, Thermi. If this is post liposuction irregularities it may need fat grafting or a secondary/revision liposuction procedure. Best, Dr. Emer.
Unfortunately, this is why it so important to be careful with liposuctioning. Some people are overly aggressive, which leaves dents, irregularities, and ripples. Once they are there, no amount of exercise will get rid of them. The only way to address these areas is with fat grafting, which is like the reverse of liposuction. We harvest fat from elsewhere on the body, prepare it, and then injected back into areas of depression. Sometimes multiple treatments are needed to a given area. Talk to a plastic surgeon well-versed in fat grafting.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
Unfortunately exercise will probably have no effect on any contour abnormalities. If they persist after all swelling is resolved, retreatment may be indicated. Excess skin would have to be dealt with by excision. Overzealous liposuction might require fat grafting.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, exercise will not correct this issue. The dents are a result of overly aggressive liposuction to the effected areas. You will most likely need revision liposuction with fat grafting to the depressed areas. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures.Hope this helps.
Exercise is beneficial in general but theskin irregularities may persist. You maywant to wait 6-12 months before consideringany other procedures.Best wishes in your recovery.
Dents are usually due to a deficiency of fat in the area. Exercise may affect the muscles under the fat but will not reshape or redistribute the fat. If you lost fat overall then the dents may be relatively smaller but I suspect this is not a practical solution. Fat grafting is probably the best corrective procedure but you should have a proper assessment from a suitably qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.Good luck.
You should be getting lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen at this time to speed up the healing process as well have very tight compression. Results will be noticeable in 3-6 months but swelling will go down in a few weeks when you will notice some of your shape taking form. Best, Dr. Emer.
It's a good question. Unfortunately, liposuction doesn't work very well for losing weight.It sounds like you had difficulty with losing the weight that you desire by using just diet and exercise. You may consider consultation with a bariatric surgeon. Bariatric surgery is an effective weight...
There is no such cream that works. The eyes require surgical removal of fat pads to get the best results. Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear you had to go through this. I do not prep this way as it is very embarrassing for the patient. I know some surgeons still do this for circumferential liposuction, but I do not think it is necessary. You should make your plastic surgeon aware of your...

Thank you for your question. I recommend contacting your plastic surgeon about seeing you in person to obtain a different compression garment. There are many brands and styles, or even going up a size may be more comfortable for you. Compression garments are an important part of your recovering...
