Lumpy abdomen and flanks post-lipo. Can this be fixed? (photo)

Dear Helpful314150,

I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately.

The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before.
While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Your one photo is not that clear. I would be best to let someone take a photo of you and post it again. However, you probably have some excess skin that can be tightened with minimally invasive radiofrequency like Renuvion.

No acceptable photos posted must have better photos posted for the possibility of a response. Or best to virtual consult with. Revision is possible but again must have better photos or virtual con
