Thank you for your question. VASER is a more delicate and controlled operation, but problems can still occur, mainly if the surgery was not done correctly or if the aftercare recommendations were not followed. Indents and ripples may appear if the fat is removed unevenly or the skin doesn't contract properly after the treatment. Fibrosis or scar tissue development may be the cause of skin hardening. A boxy look occurs if uneven fat removal or overcorrection is done. Most of the healing and settling occurred six months after surgery. It's important to discuss these worries with your surgeon again or get a second opinion from a cosmetic surgeon skilled in VASER liposuction. After evaluating your situation, they can talk to you about possible treatments, such as revision surgery or other procedures, to address the issues and enhance the treated area's look.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about your distressing experience following your mid-definition 360 Vaser procedure. It's understandable that you're feeling frustrated and unhappy with the results, especially given the concerns you've described.

It's essential to address your concerns and explore potential solutions to improve your situation. While your surgeon's reassurances are appreciated, it's important to advocate for yourself and seek further evaluation and guidance to address the issues you're experiencing.

Given the specific concerns you've mentioned, including indents, ripples, hardening of the skin, burns, and the development of a boxy square shape on your stomach, it's crucial to have a comprehensive assessment by a qualified and experienced surgeon specializing in revision procedures.

I strongly encourage you to schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss your dissatisfaction and the specific issues you've outlined. Request a thorough evaluation of your post-operative results and express your concerns openly. Your surgeon should provide you with transparent information about the potential causes of the problems you're facing and offer realistic solutions.

If you continue to feel unsatisfied with your surgeon's responses or if you believe that your concerns are not being adequately addressed, seeking a second opinion from another reputable surgeon may be beneficial. They can offer fresh insights and recommend appropriate corrective measures tailored to your specific needs.

In the meantime, prioritize self-care and emotional support. Surround yourself with understanding friends and family members who can offer encouragement and empathy during this challenging time. Remember that you're not alone, and there are professionals available to help you navigate this situation and find a resolution.
