I had bodytite lipo in June of 2010, I have a lump and a wrinkle at the top of my abdomen (see pic) kinda like Tara Reid I am wondering how to get this fixed? What happened here? Is a tummy tuck my only option? A mini tummy tuck? Fat grafting? Really unsure... thanks so much!!

Answer: Abdomen after BodyTite Purely from the photos alone it appears that a regular tummy tuck, probably with a little liposuction, would improve your overall abdominal appearance. It's hard to say without the benefit of your pre-operative photos and a pre-op/post-op exam, but it would seem you were likely a good candidate for tummy tuck from the start. I often stage patients such as yourself with tummy tuck first and then liposuction later. Or vice versa. Probably less of an issue with technique than patient selection/expectation setting. I hope it all works out for you. James E. Chappell, MD, FACSBoard Certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Addressing contour irregularities The "Tara Reid" abdomen, as it has come to be known, refers to an abdominal region which is marked by the contour irregularities which can follow (over) aggressive liposuction. This is best addressed by an abdominoplasty. This will allow removal of lax skin and allow the areas fat irregularity to be addressed directly. There are other options including revisionary liposuction and fat grafting, however, these are more symptomatic treatments than a so called "cure."As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
