Is it common to have liposuction in the upper/mid abdomen after a full tummy tuck? (Photo)

Asked By:lmgarcia in Los Angeles, CA

I had a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening 4 months ago. My PS created "fake abs" (I was not aware he was going to do this. Needless to say, I ended up with this bulgy look. I had a recent follow up visit with my PS and he says he could do "touch up lipo" in the mid section. Is this common and what are the chances of me getting ripples due to liposuction? I've seen botched liposuctions on the abdomen and wondering what causes the ripples. Advice? Recommendations?
