Can my liposuction be corrected?

Thank you for your question. Most patients can notice the full effects of their Vaser liposuction within three to six months as the swelling goes down and the region becomes softer. There are several reasons why the lower abdomen could still seem firm and square-looking six months after surgery, including unequal fat removal, scar tissue development, and persistent edema. Have you had lymphatic massages? How was your garment? I would suggest to speak with your surgeon to address these problems; they could suggest massage, lymphatic drainage treatment, fat grafting, or, in certain situations, a revision operation.

I would try. Acoustic Shock wave therapy before considering more Liposuction. Two treatments weekly for several weeks should help soften the hardness. Afterwards more liposuction may be a consideration.

Regarding your concerns about being over-treated and the square appearance of your lower abdomen, it's essential to schedule a follow-up appointment with your Vaser liposuction provider as soon as possible. They can assess your current condition, discuss your specific concerns, and determine the best course of action moving forward.

Here are some potential options that may be considered:

Evaluation of Treatment Area: Your provider will examine the treated area to assess whether there has been over-treatment or if there are any irregularities that need to be addressed.
Massage Therapy: Gentle massage therapy may help to soften the hardened or square appearance of the lower abdomen. Your provider can recommend specific massage techniques or refer you to a qualified massage therapist.
Wait for Healing: It's important to remember that the body needs time to heal after any surgical procedure. At 6 months post-op, you may still be experiencing some degree of swelling and firmness in the treated area. In many cases, these issues resolve over time as the body adjusts and heals.
Revision Surgery: In some cases, a revision procedure may be necessary to address any remaining concerns or irregularities. Your provider can discuss the possibility of a revision surgery and explain what it would entail.
Patient Education and Support: Your provider should provide you with comprehensive information and support throughout your recovery process. They can offer guidance on post-operative care, answer any questions you may have, and provide reassurance during this time.
It's essential to maintain open communication with your Vaser liposuction provider and express your concerns openly. They are there to help you achieve the best possible results and address any issues that arise along the way.
