I had smartlipo triplex on 10/05/17 and I am exactly 5 months post op and I see uneven lumps now and a prominent pooch that is there. I am concerned if I need to do a revision as well. I understand that the skin needs time to heal after surgery but I’m starting to feel unhappy with what I’m seeing, fearing that this will become permanent.

Answer: Possible Touch up Hi there,From your pre and post op pics there appears to be a difference and you have better contours. Having said that it does appear there is a small degree of fat below the belly button. It also appears you have stretch marks, and the discussion prior to the procedure should have included how the skin would contract when stretch marks are present. When you have stretch marks the skin will not contract as well as skin that never had stretch marks. I would wait a period of 6-8 months post procedure prior to doing any touch up but would also add skin tightening device such as J plasma or InmodeBody Tite.See a revision specialist for best results

Answer: Lumpiness after liposuction You do appear to have some fullness below your umbilicus. At 5 months , most of the swelling should be resolved. I would return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns. You may need a small revision. Dr Crabtree
