I recommend non invasive treatments like Vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Sometimes a flat panel of coolsculpting can help. Best, Dr. Emer
Thanks for the question. It is common after aggressive liposuction to have long standing and even permanent scarring. At this point there are a few options. My preference is surgical. I would infiltrate the area with numbing medication and use a special instrument to break up all the scar tissue and smooth out the area. I understand a lot of people do not want more surgery so I would suggest radiofrequency treatments with the Venus legacy machine or even simpler would be at home tissue manipulation. My patients tell me that the fascia blaster which can be purchases on line works well.

Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 24 to 48 hours after liposuction surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.
