Which procedure for lumps and bumps? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! An in-person consultation would allow me to determine what would be your best option. We love to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgery to help you reach your goals.

Hello Jaspsadie02. Thank you for your question regarding the best procedure to smooth out the lumps and bumps on your abdomen.

Based on your history and pictures, most plastic surgeons would recommend VASER abdominal liposuction to address these issues. Whether the lumps and bumps are a result of the hematoma or previous liposuction, VASER liposuction is an excellent technique for removing irregularities and achieving a smoother contour.

VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break up and emulsify fat, allowing for more precise removal and better skin retraction compared to traditional liposuction. This method is effective in targeting the lumps and bumps and providing a more even and aesthetically pleasing result.

The procedure can be performed under local, twilight, or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the surgeon's recommendation. I suggest consulting with several board-certified plastic surgeons to get their professional opinions and establish the best course of action for your specific situation. However, I recommend doing it under general anesthesia to get optimal results and have minimal pain.

Good luck, and I hope you achieve the smooth and contoured abdomen you desire.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

I answered this question previously. You might consider a mini tuck for the lower abdomen, and then Sculptra injections to help in the residual dents once healed.
