HI there! I had 360 Vaser in Oct 2020, revision in May 2021. Still wrinkled so I got Renuvion in Feb 2022. My skin has not tightened up. The Dr. Will do Renuvion again (at full price ☹️), another Dr. said I’d need a reverse tummy tuck. Is there ANY procedure that would help? I am 54, no childbirth, an Endomorph-gymnast body type ,don’t have loose skin anywhere on my body (and based on genetics and my gym routine, probably never will). Am I stuck with this?

Answer: Liposuction results Dear sebrina55, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

Answer: Too much liposuction Dear Sebrina, Unfortunately, your situation demonstrates what can happen when too much liposuction is performed in trying to push the envelope in someone who has lost some skin elasticity, i.e. age 54. Contour irregularities are the most common complication of liposuction, especially aggressive liposuction. I would recommend letting the healing process continue and continue your gym routine. The irregularities are scar tissue and scar tissue remodels over time. You might consider ultrasound treatments to help break up the scar tissue. They are usually performed by a physical therapist. Good luck!
