Do I need a second opinion? I had liposuction on my sides and stomach my belly is very uneven it seems to be getting worse every day. My doctor said it’s loose skin and was very dismissive as soon as he felt I was unhappy he just said it’s loose skin and do abs workouts. I think I need a second. I do know it’s only 4 weeks and it takes months to see final results but I feel the progress is obviously uneven and the fact it’s not improving is concerning.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear Anya Sa,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Liposuction Results Hello,Based on your pre op and current photos, you had, and currently have, skin excess, as well as excess adiposity that is still present. Once you heal, around 6 months minimum, go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring. You'll need a tummy tuck. Best of luck!
