Hello I am 32 years old male I had a Vaser liposuction 6 months ago to shape my belly and abs. Only 2 litres have been removed. Unfortunately result is very dissapointing. Uneven areas, poorly done "sixpack" and skin damage. I don't want to continue with my current doctor for possible procedures and corrections. I wonder if there is a slight possibility of correction of the areas on the skin and irregularly, and what could be your suggestions? Your opinions are very valuable

Answer: Liposuction results To make an accurate assessment of a plastic surgery procedure we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the ones they took. Early postoperative pictures are not helpful and without seeing a clear comparison of before, and after it’s hard to assess your outcome. I personally am not a big fan of high definition, Liposuction. It’s hard to see any obvious problems from your outcome and 2 L of fat. It’s probably a significant amount to have been removed. Based on the limited information you’ve included. Follow up with your provider or schedule a second opinion in person consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community. Liposuction is a permanent irreversible procedure. Improving Liposuction results. Once the procedure has been performed is extremely difficult. Revision work, or secondary liposuction is many times more difficult in the primary Liposuction. until you can clearly define what the problem is. There is no indication it to have further surgery. Revision work becomes more difficult, if the first procedure was done aggressively. Consider re-posting with quality before and after pictures and a clear description of what you’re hoping to change.
