Hi there, I'm VERY bummed out about my agreement to get vaser lipo. Never even considered getting ANY kind of lipo on UPPER abdomen. I had a defined "4-pack" of abs ever since I was little. The ONLY area my body would store fat was my LOWER abdomen, so I wanted to get lipo only in that area. However, my surgeon shared his vision. In addition to taking out fat from lower area, he wanted to make my upper abs "much more defined," and I thought, why not? Instead, I never saw my abs again. thoughts?

Answer: Liposuction results Dear A959202, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Lipo revision There are many possible reasons as to why you may lost ab definition after Vaser. This can include scarring, weight gain or weight loss, changes in muscle tone, contour irregularities from liposuction, or changes to the natural elasticity of your skin. Your before photos also appear to be professionally taken compared to your after selfies which may make the difference even more dramatic. It is best to have an in-office evaluation to determine what options can improve your situation. It may not be possible to make you look like exactly like your before photos however you may have at least some modest improvements. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
