Prior to getting a bbl I had a flat stomach with no bulge. I gained weight just to get a bbl and a few months after I got the surgery, my stomach looked like this. I currently still have a small bulge but it’s now soft and is a “roll” when I wear pants. When I lay down it’s flat. Can I fix this? It really bothers me. Especially because I didn’t have it before I got the surgery.
Answer: Bulge after liposuction 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.

Answer: Revision for Liposuction 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.

Answer: Revision Liposuction and scarless skin tightening Following your liposuction you have developed skin looseness. the best way to fix this is to have a revision liposuction and tighten skin so that you can eliminate skin laxity that is causing it to lean over when you are standing. Pleas consider a virtual consultation with a liposuction and Renuvion J plasma expert.

Answer: LIposuction You probably need another round of liposuction to even out the bulge. Depending on the size it can be done under local anesthesia.

Answer: Loose skin vs uneven fat vs diastasis recti Based on the pictures alone, it's hard to discern whether you have a diastasis recti versus uneven fat removal from your previous lipo procedure vs skin redundancy of the upper abdomen (from aggressive fat removal) which is leading to what is called "umbilical hooding" or excess skin above the belly button. The best way to test these is- if it is a diastasis recti, you will be able to let your belly loose, and suck it in, and see a significant change in size and shape of your abdomen. The treatment for this is an abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck with muscle repair. The second, if you pinch all the fat of your abdomen and work your way down, you will notice uneven pinches of fat between your index and thumb fingers. The solution to this is revision VASER assisted liposculpting. The third can be tested by pulling the skin of your upper abdomen upward toward your chest. If everything smoothes out, it is a skin problem. The solution to this is also an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, which will eliminate the loose skin of your upper and lower abdomen. Hope this helps.
