TT and 360 lip and results look uneven. What can be done? Second opinion? (photos)

Question

I had a TT&360 Lipo and results look uneven. It’s been very depressing as it has affected my lifestyle and mental health. Constantly felt the surgery’s gone wrong but I now found the courage to seek for a specialist opinion. I’d greatly appreciate any expert opinions to help ease and clarify my concerns. Photos will be attached for further review. Can something be done about it? Is it possible to have it rectified at their own cost? Can I be compensated? Every detailed information helps

Thank you for your question and photos. Side views would've been helpful. Based on these photos, you had an abdominoplasty which left you with excess fat over the abdomen and uneven liposuction of the back with multiple un-natural grooves. At this point, if you were my patient, I  would do VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees on your torso (your surgeon did not deliver that) with fat transfer to the hip depressions anteriorly and buttock shaping (unfortunately this cannot be evaluated from the posted photos). At a second stage, I would redo your full abdominoplasty and lower the high incision you have. The best chance to get the best result is the first surgery, corrective surgeries can have some limitations due to the first one. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. 
I do not believe that you can be compensated by your first surgeon. He/she might want to do a "touch up", but I do not think that a touch up will give you the results you are expecting. Any further surgery is not a simple revision, but redoing your whole torso to achieve an hourglass figure. Good luck.

Hello, Repossess27. Thank you for your question regarding your tummy tuck and 360 liposuction results.

I apologize for your unsatisfactory results and the impact they have had on your mental health and lifestyle. Based on the photos you provided, your tummy tuck itself does not appear uneven. However, there is noticeable excess fat that could benefit from liposuction. Liposuction can help contour the areas of concern and provide a more balanced appearance.

If you are considering a revision, I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in revision liposuction. This will ensure you receive the best possible care and results. It's essential to address these issues with your original surgeon as well, as they may offer solutions or revisions at a reduced cost.

I hope this helps clarify your concerns and provides a path forward to achieving the results you desire. Good luck with your revision journey.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

You will need to have repeat liposuction.  You still have a lot of fat remaining.  You may also need a posterior continuation of your tummy tuck to create a body lift.

Best Wishes,

It can take 9 months to a year for you to see your final results.  If you have not reached this threshold it is best to wait.  Be sure to follow your surgeon's post op instructions including wearing compression and getting lymphatic massage.  If you still have concerns after a year you can consider a revision.
