Liposuction to abdomen. Will it be lumpy if I gain weight? (photo)

Hello
It is normal for your waist to not be very defined because the space between your pelvic bone and ribs is narrow. Excess fat accumulation in your abdomen and waist can be removed with Vaser Lipo, which will flatten your abdomen and slim your waist. If there is no looseness in your skin, it will not occur after the procedure. If there is, additional treatments like Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite may be needed.

Graceful lipo sculpting can be an amazing body augmentation with long lasting results. As long as the person who is performing the liposuction sees your vision and has the experience to provide you with good athletic results you will not be lumpy down the road.
The biggest suggestion i have is when you go for consults please ask to see before and after pictures that are relatively recent, and are not the stock images on the website.

Dear Polite391862,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

When liposuction is done properly, a uniformed amount of fat is left and should not become lumpy if you gain weight. Weight gain with more fat may smooth out any irregularities you do have.

Lumpy results could come from either poor candidate selection, poor surgical execution, or poor post surgical care. Weight gain later does not confer lumps, either at the surgical site or elsewhere. You are in great shape and would get a very good result that would be smooth.

Lipo is really a great option for getting that stubborn fat gone off your tummy and sides and really works. Be sure to get it done under local and enjoy the new you. You will be able to keep a great looking tummy for years if you just continue on your regime.

Liposuction that is done well should not leave you lumpy. You can also add nonsurgical EMSculpt to help tighten your muscle.

Liposuction is a great way to remove stubborn pockets of fat and improve contours. If done properly you shouldn't have contour irregularities regardless if you gain or lose weight. See an experienced board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Liposuction is never perfect. It will always have a certain degree of lumps or irregularities. I tell my patients the worst thing they can do after liposuction is to put on weight. Those irregularities are irregular contours of fat. As you gain weight, fat cells enlarge. Small lumps or ridges can become larger or more visible lumps or ridges. It can always be re-liposuctioned. But those are the facts that we deal with. One of the reasons liposuction is one of the most often repeated surgeries.
Good luck
