Vaser lipo issue - how can I improve this dent on my stomach? (Photos)

It looks like you had a hider liposuction. The results look good. In terms of the small area of extra line, likely looking into fat transfer would be the best option. It will likely take several sessions to get a good result so be patient and willing to invest a little into the process if it’s a priority to you.

Dear Genius729063,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a detailed and bespoke plan please consult with your plastic surgeon.
Dents can happen either from scar formation, issues with skin contracture or just liposuction irregularities from either over suctioning the area or uneven suctioning, sometimes it can be even caused by abnormalities in the underlying tissues that become more obvious when the skin is thinned. that being said even though there is no easy fix there are many available options that will depend on what the issue is and how far are you from your surgery , like lymphatic massages ( best in early recovery), ultrasound and radio-frequency based devices, and liposuction revision to even out fat distribution.I would recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon to diagnose the issue and come up with a plan that will work for you.Best of luck!

It sounds like what you’re describing could be contour irregularity or scar tissue from the laser lipo. This can sometimes happen if the fat was removed unevenly or if the skin didn’t retract smoothly after the procedure.
A visible line might also be caused by fibrosis (thickening of tissue) or a small area where the cannula (lipo tool) created a groove. It’s not uncommon, but I know it can be frustrating to deal with.
There are options to help soften or smooth the area, like: • Massage or lymphatic drainage (if it’s mild) • Radiofrequency or ultrasound treatments to break up the tissue • Fat grafting or fillers to even out the surface • In some cases, a revision lipo might be needed to blend the area better.
It’s worth consulting with a surgeon or provider experienced in post-lipo corrections. They can assess what’s causing the line and recommend the best approach to improve it.
