2 years ago I had a back and abdomen Vaser liposuction which left me with loose skin on the abdomen and fibrosis. 1 year ago I went for a revision in which my doctor also performed a mini tummy tuck. After the revision I still have many irregularities. Would another revision help? After the lipo I was also left with skin discoloration which has not solved. Is there any treatment for it? Thanks!
Answer: #RevisionLiposuction I specialize in treating Liposuction and other cosmetic surgery related defects. what you're experiencing is not uncommon. and is frequently seen after Assisted-Liposuction procedures such as Vaser, Smart Lipo etc. its a detailed discussion and Im happy to speak to you over the phone if you like. I have worked on patients like yourself and I have been able to improve upon their condition. with that said, it cannot be reversed back to 100% normal skin like you used to have. Unfortunately. I have attached a link to my website. you can also watch some of my videos on my YouTube channel.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra this is very difficult and needs a revision you may even need a revision tuck. typically once there is discoloration its permanent and can be made worse with more liposuction however, Renuvion has helped in the revision cases with fat grafting and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to improve it. regular RF treatments and trulsculpt FLEX with hormonal optimization has made a big difference for my clients as well. I suggest a consultation, dont have high expectations though because this is very difficult to "cure" but could possibly be improved. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Liposuction revision Dear Pioneering5424, I would have to examine you, but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately.The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Answer: Second revision typically revision work becomes a point of diminishing returns.VAS ER can be a powerful device and when used inappropriately leave people disfigured.You definitely need an in person consultation. If you were happy with the revision your provider did then talk to him or her about another one.In general, it’s hard enough leaving a smooth contour even during liposuction. Taking an uneven contour and making it smooth is far more difficult. when someone’s been over treated it’s often not possible.It looks like you were over treated in certain areas on purpose which is technique often called etching. Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea because too many people end up looking like you did.Nothing is going to bring you back to pre-liposuction. some minor areas of irregularity may be able to be improved.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Answer: High definition VASER liposuction It is hard to answer your question without a consultation. There are many factors that are important including skin laxity, amount of skin, and excess fat in the area. You are encouraged to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. That being said, The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
