you may need skin removal at the same time as HD liposuction. often previous liposuction leaves significant scar tissue that makes It difficult to fix without cutting the tissue or skin removal. get a formal consult. non invasive will do very little.You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Dear allyt87,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
You are encouraged to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. This may be resolved using a tummy tuck or high definition VASER liposuction. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
Poor Liposuction results typically stem from uneven fat removal, overly aggressive fat removal or failure to blend into adjacent areas.Generally speaking correcting previous Liposuction results were secondary Liposuction is many times more difficult than primary procedures.In other words taking a smooth contour and leaving it smooth after liposuction is hard enough. Taking an uneven contour and making it even is many times more difficult than after not possible.Treatment options are generally revision liposuction, fat transfer or converting the procedure to a skin tightening procedure such as a full tummy tuck.Cool sculpting will definitely not be helpful and will be a waste of money.To make a proper assessment we need to see before and after pictures. If you don’t have before pictures then ask your provider to forward the ones they took before the surgery.Be very careful with any provider who thinks they can easily correct this and restore you to a normal contour.What’s your procedure done using it VASER?I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with Liposuction. Keep your expectations low.It is possible and not unlikely that you could be made worse from attempted to correct this.look for senior highly experienced plastic surgeons hoping around the block a few times.I would also encourage you to follow up with your provider and let him or her know how you feel about the outcome.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
Dear 1980usamac, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from a liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more...

You are strongly encouraged to wait at least 6 months to a year after your procedure before getting more work done on the same area. There can still be swelling and other factors that need to subside for you to see the full results of your procedure. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VAS...
