Dents and lumps 11 weeks after Liposuction. (photo)

Question

Had traditional lipo mid April . 1.5 liters removed from upper lower abdomen and back . Second time liposuction on area, first was April 2013. I know I will need a revision . I'm freaking out about the results ... Will I look normal again ? What kind of improvement can I expect ? I know I need fat injections in dents I know I have to wait at least two more months for a revision . My stomach looks ok in some lighting but strong lights it's scary ! Please see pictures

My suggestion is to start lymphatic drainage and/or ultrasound or radiofequency treatments at this time.  Also, get into a very sound exercise routine, particuarly for lower/mid abdominal strenghtening.  If after 3 months of this, you still have lumpy bumpiness, then you may need a revision.  In that case I would seek an apporpriate revision physician (like myself) who uses both manual and laser liposuction to even out all the lumps, and also fat harvest to improve dents.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your pictures. Revision is possible. Perfection is not possible. Improvement is possible. This will take several surgeries

In the short-term contour regularities after liposuction are common. As long as the trend is favorable there's no reason to panic. The final result may not emerge for six months to a year.

Would like to se a few befores posted so as to compare. I think you mightn't have been a candidate for liposuction. Now only directed fat grafts and or Skin only TT might help...
