On January 29,2020 I had a BBL and lipo360 done. I had lymphatic massages for the first 2 months of my recover, I also followed recovery instructions down to the T, and still waist train till this day. After spending close to $8,000, I would expect my results to be better. My belly button has an uneven look to it, my stomach looks extremely wavy, and to top it off my behind is not as prominent as I would hope for. Should I get a revision? What can fix this?!
Answer: Dissatisfaction Although your belly looked smooth in the before photo, your results indicate you have stretch marks and likely a prior pregnancy. This tells me that you needed an tummy tuck as well to achieve the results your were hoping for. Yes, you'll need a revision lipo and bbl too. My suggestion is to see some specialists in your area. Honestly, surgeons that do this well cost much more than $8000, and revision surgery is even harder and more costly.

Answer: Liposuction results Dear sarina88, I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result. I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Answer: Lipo360 + abdominoplasty/tummy tuck - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL easy fix! just needs liposuction with internal heating and skin removal. consult us! my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring). the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after). You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: What can I do to fix bad/uneven lipo 360 To be very transparent, your results are acceptable though not perfect. The issues are if additional surgery can improve? That is a risk but only an expert in lipo revisions and at least a boarded Plastic Surgeon should be chosen. You chose a NON Plastic Surgeon! at a very shady clinic. I would use the S.A.F.E. lipo techniques to try to correct the fibrosis along with superficial liposuction. Fees at $6,000 for 360 revision.

Answer: Liposuction Revision Based off the photos provided, you are an excellent candidate for liposuction revision. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
