Options to remove ridge post lipo? (Photos)

Question

A few years ago I had lipo on my abdomen and back to improve my silhouette. However the compression garment caused a ridge to form in the middle of my abdomen. I am wondering what would be my options to reduce or remove this? Thank you.

Dear Giving5750,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

An examination is needed to be certain, but liposuction of the fullness above could be helpful. If needed, some fat could be transferred into the sunken area.
