5 years post lipo - Why does my stomach look like this? Why is it not smooth? What can I do to fix it? (Photos)

Question

I had lipo 5 years ago. My stomach has looked like this since. Why is it not smooth? What can I do to fix it?

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Liposuction results are based on two variables. 
The first is the patients candidacy and the second is the providers skill. 
To understand your candidacy we should see before pictures though it does not look like you were a poor candidate. 
That pretty much leaves the outcome as the responsibility of your provider.
Delivering consistent quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize.
The number of plastic surgeons who approach mastery of this procedure is in reality quite small.
The deposition is permanent and irreversible.
If not done well, it can leave people disfigured.
In your case, the procedure was done in an overly aggressive manner, leaving you with an uneven fat distribution.
This is simply the outcome of someone who wasn’t good at Liposuction and used overly aggressive equipment.
Unfortunately, any significant improvements in outcome are going to be difficult.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
