I had liposuction on my butt and thighs 12 years ago, and while never completely smooth, the ripples or uneven skin is worsening. It is no longer only something that I notice, but something that is actually there. And while I do understand it’s not horrible, it makes me insecure and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to smooth it out? I really appreciate any and all advice!

Answer: What can be done to even out irregularities after #liposuction? There are a variety of methods to try to correct or improve contour irregularities after prior liposuction. Evaluation starts with an exam in the office to assess the contours, skin elasticity, fat distribution, and other factors. Revision procedures can include noninvasive therapies like VelaShape or other body contouring devices, VaserSmooth therapy to break up irregularities from the inside, Kybella (off label) to try to dissolve fat nodules or bulges, revision liposuction, and fat grafting. Sometimes one or more techniques need to be combined. See a body contouring plastic surgeon expert.

Answer: Yes The treatments that work for me for smoothing the skin post liposuction include Fotona Tight Sculpting, Velashape, MedSculpt, Zimmer Z-Wave. If spot areas of fat are left, spot liposuction, CoolSculpting, UltraShape or fat dissolving injections can also be used to remove small pockets of left over fat. If the skin texture is crepe, SkinFinity or Fotona Smooth Mode erbium laser is helpful on the surface.
