Thank you for your question. It appears that you have severe contour irregularity on the abdomen and hips following the liposuction. A tummy tuck will not likely help much unless your skin is very elastic (and this is hard to tell from the photo.) Depending on the liposuction technique used (conventional, laser assisted or ultrasonic) there will be variable amounts of scar tissue in the remaining subcutaneous plane. In my experience, it can be improved but not fully corrected with a combination of fat equalization and fat grafting to the problem areas. An in-person assessment and discussion with a competent plastic surgeon in your area is best to figure out your options moving forward.
Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck may improve things by stretching the skin - but you don't really look like you have a lot of skin to stretch. Fat grafting can help to soften things, but with the level of fibrosis you have, it's going to be very, very difficult - if not impossible - to give you a flat, smooth stomach. Nothing, of course, replaces an in-person examination. I suggest you meet with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to hear all of your options. Best of luck!
Thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern. You have a severe level of fibrosis after liposuction. A tummy tuck should improve your skin irregularity. However, be aware that the scar tissue will prevent removing skin due to the lack of elasticity of your skin. Do NOT expect a perfectly flat stomach. Finally, make sure that you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Wishing you the best in your journeyIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: It is difficult to say what is exactly happening with your case without a physical examination, testing or having done your surgery. It is imperative that you have a thorough examination by a board-certified surgeon. Only then, you may weight better the options to fix your current concerns.

Thanks for the question. Yes, you can get a BBL and tummy tuck at the same time. But first of all you need to lose some more kilos. After you lose kilos, you should meeting with a Board Certified Surgeon and planning the process. After planning, everything will be better. I wish you all the best.
As the other doctors have said this could certainly be a stitch which has worked its way to the surface and be a stitch abscess. However I notice that you have raised hypertrophic (even possibly keloid) scar formation. I would recommend a course of steroid injections to have flatten these scars....
If the swelling is only one leg and significant, you must contact your plastic surgeon to be assessed. This could be a blood clot which is more risky in someone with baseline lymphedema.Best of luck!
Thank you for your question! As you are preparing for surgery, please discuss your daily activities with your board-certified plastic surgeon and for a personalized recommendation on expected downtime. There were always be some variability during the healing process as each patient and the...
Thank you for your question and photo. One year is plenty of time for swelling to resolve. If still there revisit with your surgeon or seek a second opinion. Good luck.
