Do I need a second round of lipo to get rid of fibrosis or will exercise help? (Photos)

Question

Got a BBL 2 years ago. I’m scared to get a second round of lipo and still have those dents and balls of fat. Please help.

Hello dear, Thank you for the question and great photos.. after analysing your case.. I can say you're a good candidate for a VASER Liposuction, this would fix your problem, give you great results and improve the look of your belly.Benefits of Vaser Lipo:* Increased skin retraction.* The side effects of the intervention are less than those that can occur in a conventional liposuction.* Faster recovery.* Greater precision: it allows extracting more volume in small areas, such as thighs, jowls, flanks, buttocks ...* Acts on the area without damaging surrounding tissues* Helps tighten the skin.

l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Best of lucks!!
Dr. Luis Mejia.

Fat transfer to dents along with scar therapy would likely improve the current results. If the lumps and bumps are areas of excess fat,  dilute steroid injections could possibly be used to cause fat atrophy. They might also benefit by spot liposuction reduction. If the problem is that the lumps and bumps are normal and the areas between them are deficient, then fat injection grafting is the treatment of choice.
Consult with a board certified PS for an evaluation and discussion of your options.

Dear deliaaboo9,
I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction.  This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. 
While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Believe it or not, abdominal contour irregularities following liposuction typically get worse not better with more liposuction. Although exercise and weight loss late minimize the high points by reducing those intervening pockets of fat, believe it or not, fat transfer back in to the abdomen is usually the better option in to fill in the low points. Glad to be of help.

Secondary liposuction using either laser assisted or ultrasound assisted techniques might help.  The laser or ultrasound would help break up scar tissue.  Post procedure it is necessary to wear compression for several weeks and consider doing a series of post liposuction Endermologie treatments to smooth out the skin.
