Hard Scar Tissue/Callus Like 1inch Thick Belt Accross my Lower Abdomen Aprox from Incision to Incision After Lipo? (photo)

      I would see your surgeon to determine if this is fluid related or garment related.  If this is loose skin, this is a different issue.  Give yourself at least 3 to 6 months to heal to determine if a revision will be necessary.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

This lower band can be a number of things-swelling, hematoma etc. No matter what it is it is too soon after surgery to do anything but massage, warm compresses and wait for spontaneous resolution if it will happen.

My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

The photograph demonstrates a ridge secondary to swelling after liposuction. This should improve significantly and probably will will totally disappear after several weeks. A compressive garment will help.
