Answer: Thank you for your question. Thank you for your question. The best way to avoid dents is to not get them in the first place, but it happens occasionally, even in the best of hands. A big part of the problem is that liposuction is typically done in a supine position, and what appeared to be smooth with the patient lying down can occasionally not be so smooth when standing. Using smaller cannulas, and repositioning the patient is helpful in avoiding this. That is why I sometimes prefer doing liposuction under sedation, so that the patient can help the surgeon visualize the treatment area from different positions. Experience of the surgeon also helps, I believe, as an experienced surgeon knows to randomize his or her liposuction strokes so as to not remain in the same area too long and reinforce a contour irregularity. That being said, your dents can be improved through a combination of liposuctioning the areas around the defects and fat grafting the dents themselves. Alternatively, an abdominoplasty can even out the irregularities (and in fact, remove these areas) as most of them are below the belly button. This is, of course, a much bigger procedure.

Answer: Either more liposuction or a tummy tuck In your case, what makes the dents visible is the fat around them. So it can be liposuctioned and it will smooth it out, although not all the way. Another option is to do a tummy tuck and cut that skin out.

Answer: Dents in abdomen after liposuction I can see on your photo what you describe. It looks like some areas are depressed and some bulges are still present. I recommend liposuction and fat transfer. I do not recommend using filler, as you will get a better more long lasting result with fat.

Answer: It depends on what's causing the dents. A consultation will be able to determine what is the best solution for you. Hello, Thank you for your question. It's hard to tell what's causing the dents based on your pictures. If it's due to skin laxity, then a skin tightening treatment or tummy tuck will be recommended. If it's caused by too much fat removed, then a fat transfer will be recommended. Extra liposuction can also be an option, but only a consultation will be able to determine what is the best solution for you.
