Dents and unevenness 6 months post-Vaser. What can improve this? (photos)

Some temporary firm spots, uneven areas common after Vaser ultrasound liposuction. It’s part of the healing process and can take upto 1 year to settle.

Unfortunately, the abdomen shows every spot and is prone to daily movements of torso, clothing digging in when sitting, etc.

Everyone heals differently, continued gentle massage, compression and time will usually improve the area.

If these contour issues persist, rarely some treatment may be indicated. Revision too early can start cycle over again and may be detrimental.

Continued close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended during this time.

Hi Alex9488,
Thank you for your question regarding dents and unevenness six months post-VASER liposuction and what can improve this. Thank you for your history and your pictures.
Indentations, waviness, and unevenness of the skin are the most common complications after any type of liposuction, including VASER liposuction. To minimize dents and uneven skin after liposuction, it is very important for you to wear four layers. Your first layer should be liposuction foam. Your second layer should be an abdominal board. Your third layer should be your medical-grade compression garment. Your fourth layer should be a foam vest created just for VASER liposuction patients made by Medical--Z. You should use the foam, abdominal board, and vest for the first two weeks. You should wear your compression garment for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. At the two-week mark, it is also very important to start lymphatic massage and continue for several weeks.
Before you undergo another liposuction surgery, I would exhaust conservative measures. This should include deep tissue massage, cavitation, magnetic therapy, and micro-current. If these measures do not resolve your issues and it has been at least eight months after your VASER liposuction, then I would consider revision.
The indentations and dents that you have are due to scar tissue and loss of fat in these areas. During your VASER liposuction revision, areas of scar tissue must be released. I would suggest combined VASER liposuction and scar release to the areas of scar tissue. In addition, I would also suggest fat grafting to fill in areas of severe indentation, which may not respond to the scar release. Please be aware that VASER revision surgery is very difficult to fix. You need to go to a specialist.
Also, you may need several surgical revisions to achieve optimal results. Good luck. I hope I have answered your questions about dents and unevenness six months post-VASER liposuction and what can improve this.

The definitive correction for you is the modified abdominal skin resection which will eliminate skin redundancy and allow you to perform VASER liposuction to redistribute the fat you have into a smoother appearance.
