Is the unnatural look of the belly button after healing from liposuction, avoidable? (Photo)

December 4, 2015
Asked By:bodycon21 in Houston, TX

Is there a way to get a "natural looking stomach" after liposuction and not look like I'm sucking in my stomach after I have healed? I thought it only resulted from "tummy tucks" but I have seen results from other fat removal procedures that end up with the "sucked in tummy" look, which is something I absolutely do not want. I plan on getting lipo in a few weeks and this is the only thing keeping me from wasting money on several consultations in fear of getting the same answer. Please help!
