Hello Doctor's I would like to know if this can be fixed with another round of liposuction? Seems like my panty line never gets liposuction. What can fix this it's one of my insecurities.
Answer: Can This Be Fixed? This is a very challenging issue to address as there is previous injury to the area from the liposuction. The skin likely needs to be removed with an abdominoplasty. I would highly recommend seeing a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon with adequate training and expertise in revisionary surgery. This is a complex problem to address and needs someone dedicated to revisionary surgery.

Answer: Liposuction won't help The problem is not residual fat that needs to be removed, its excess skin. A surgery that will improve the appearance of your abdomen is a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, which will remove this excess skin.

Answer: Liposuction revision Dear Fantastic172913, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

Answer: Liposuction A standing photo would be better to see, but if you have excess fat in that area, then it can be treated with liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction is not a miracle drug Dear Fantastic, The photos that you sent are really inadequate to assess your possible needs for further liposuction. Too many patients in consultation sit down, bend over and say "I need to get rid of this." Unless you have 0-10% body fat (and even at that), any person sitting will have rolls around the waistline. Evaluation for liposuction also involves the surgeons assessment of your skin elasticity, which can only be achieved with an in person examination. Speak to your surgeon, hopefully an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified surgeon about your options. Good luck!
