I had Lipo almost two years ago. I've been losing weight and I've always had this extra skin or fat after my Lipo. What are my options?
Answer: Excess skin after liposuction Hello! Unfortunately, it appears that you have some extra skin after liposuction. When combining liposuction w/ skin tightening (i.e. j-plasma etc.) you can expect up to a 60% improvement but it is not perfect. Surgically, the gold standard is to perform a tummy tuck to remove the extra skin and give you a tighter look. Nonsurgically, you can look into Morpheus 8 (RF microneedling) treatments to help tighten the area around the belly button for a better result. Good luck!

Answer: Liposuction an examination is needed to see if it is extra unmissed fat or excess skin. If fat remains, selected liposuction can be done. Otherwise, radiofrequency skin tightening may help or a tummy tuck.

Answer: Skin Hello and thank you for your question and pictures. It looks like between lipo and the weight loss you have lost most of the fat. However, due to the amount of stretch marks the skin cannot shrink and so you would most benefit from a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. Be sure to see a Board Certified PS for your consultation.
