Answer: BBL The only way to avoid rippling or belly button distortion is finding a plastic surgeon who is experienced with liposuction. There are many techniques that I use to help minimize rippling and contour deformities. Look at your plastic surgeon's before and after photos and make sure you're happy with his/her results.

Answer: Rippling after liposuction Great question! To avoid rippling, the surgeon should take time to be careful with the procedure itself. The cause for rippling is either too much is taken out of one area or fat was taken out too close to the skin. Additionally wearing compression garments consistently will prevent much of the rippling and will smooth some of these small tiny contour irregularities. As far as the belly button goes, its not that the procedure itself causes a strange looking belly button, the fact is when volume is removed, often times you are left with extra loose skin. The excess loose skin sometimes hangs over the top of the belly button causing it to look strange. Liposuction is a volume not a skin procedure. Often times, the compression garment with compress the skin and it will scar down tight. However if this does not happen, patients can get skin tightening lasers to improve the appearance of the belly button.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BBL candidate Dear thetravelgirl,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.Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there are no pictures. If a patient has good quality tummy skin, then they should not have much of a problem with rippling of their tummy after a bbl and their belly button should look normal. (Please see the bbl video on our page) if one has loose tummy skin, liposuction may result in wrinkling of the tummy. If the laxity of the skin is minimal one may consider tightening the skin utilizing a radio frequency device like Renuvion J plasma. If the patient has a lot of loose skin, secondary to having children, I would recommend performing a tummy tuck first. (Please watch Malibu tummy tuck video on our page). I’m very excited about a new high tech device used to perform BBLs. It’s called the Vibrastat. For more information please watch the enclosed video.
