Dear Inventive8246,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

To be honest, your VASER liposuction will require excision  of redundant skin in order to achieve the results that you are desiring. We perform a modified abdominal skin resection which will help tighten your skin and help show your underlying definition. Please consider a virtual consultation from a high definition body contouring specialist.

Your pictures still show bruising so you must have recently had the procedure

It takes 3 to 6 months to see final results so making early assessments is not a good idea.

By six weeks you’ll have a pretty good idea of what the results will look like but final results take at least three months.

When making an assessment on the outcome of a procedure we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took.

Likewise, if you’re unhappy with your results you should follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her.

In the end your doctor is responsible for the outcome of the procedure while you are responsible for choosing that provider.

Early pictures are not representative and it is not a good idea to make assessments based on those.

Give it some time and follow up with your provider.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
