Can my abdomen look better? (Photo)

Question

I’m 40 years old with the face of a 28 years old. I work out and run 4x a week. I'm a very healthy person. When I was in my late 20s and my stomach was flat, a surgeon who did my breast augmentation told me that he can make my tummy to look much better. However, the results is awful. Please let me know the price and time of recovering.

Based on your picture I would recommend Bodytite to smooth out and tighten the area.Always see a board certified PS.

You probably had liposuction which contributed to irregular surface contours.  My recommendation would be a reshaping/recontouring procedure as shown in the abdominal gallery of our site.  These procedures are adjusted for each woman's particular presentation and desired result.  Cost is $7-$12K.

Hello,
Using the technique that was originally conceptualized for revision liposuction, SAFE lipo, you can get a great result. This isn't a machine or a gizmo, it is a description of a technique involving separating tissue prior to suction, suction, and finishing with fat equalization. Like all 'types' of liposuction, your results are not gotten by the machine, but by the surgeons training, skill, and experience. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in SAFE lipo techniques. Best of luck

Dear New2000,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. The revision can often be done under local as well.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.Daniel Barrett, MD

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction revision. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Downtime is a week with high definition liposuction. Best, Dr. Emer
