What can I do to correct a bulge after liposuction? (photos)

Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction of the abdomen is an option. But there are other options to consider depending on the laxity of the skin and the amount of fat you would want removed. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.

Thank you for your question and for providing detailed background and images. It seems like the bulge you are experiencing might be due to the accumulation of visceral fat—fat stored in the peritoneal cavity behind the rectus abdominis muscle, likely due to weight gain for a BBL.

Given this, additional liposuction may not be beneficial as it could potentially worsen the condition. The issue here seems to be the visceral fat and weakened abdominal muscles, not subcutaneous fat, which liposuction targets.

For a surgical approach to address the muscle laxity, a rectus abdominis muscle repair could be considered, either as an isolated procedure, possibly even endoscopically, or combined with a tummy tuck, depending on a detailed physical examination.

If surgery is not a preferred option, adopting a ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting exceeding 14 hours could also be beneficial to reduce visceral fat.

I hope this provides clarity on addressing a stomach bulge post-liposuction. Wishing you all the best in finding a suitable solution.

You need to be examined to see if this is just fat or if it is something more like a hernia. Please let your surgeon examine you.
