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: 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
