Thanks for your question and the photos you provided. Without knowing the rest of your vitals, past medical history, and examining you in person it is difficult to answer with complete certainty. However, knowing that you have had multiple rounds of liposuction to the same area, I would turn your focus on to non-surgical skin tightening and weight loss. Consider Morpheus 8 to assist with your loose skin and weight loss to help bring down your visceral volume. Good luck!

HELLO, BASED ON YOUR PICTURES WE CAN DEFINITELY SAY THAT YOU CAN DEFINITELY SOMEWHERE TO ANOTHER PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURE TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR ABDOMEN, HOWEVER WE WOULD HAVE TO EVALUATE MORE IN DEPTH AND WITH PHOTOS FROM BETTER ANGLES TO RECOMMEND YOU WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST PROCEDURE FOR YOU IT

Omer Sagir, MD · Answer

Hello Dear, 
Thank you for the detailed information that you provided. 
A more attentive and detailed approach might be the remedy you are looking for depending on your skin quality and the nature of your body fat. Every person has a different metabolism and skin quality, surely we can not overlook these facts. 
Sometimes, if the patient's body is so challenging to work on, of course this can limit the perfection of the results. But the main question should always be "which surgeon has enough skills & experience to get the most correction with a body that is hard to work on?"
Hope you find this answer helpful. 
Be safe, be happy

Hi, KFlores It looks to me that you still have some extra fat in the abdomen. Enough for trying a new liposuction. That might improve its appearance. However, about your waist, I think you don´t have enough fat in that area in order to reduce its size. The only procedure that makes your waist to looks smaller, would be fat transfer to the hips. That will reduce the ratio waist/hip. (ideally should be around 0.7). When we can´t reduce the waist, we should increase the hips. I don´t see any other solution.

Yes, I am reasonably certain that you can have a smaller waist and defined abdomen. It appears that not enough fat or excess skin was removed. I would have to confirm with a virtual or in-person consultation.

As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. Feel free to contact my office for a complimentary consultation.
