10 months post-op - lipo/TT/BBL revision for lumpy stomach? (Photos)

Hello, and thank you for your question regarding a revision for a lumpy stomach 10 months after your tummy tuck, liposuction, and BBL. I appreciate you sharing your history and pictures. Based on your images, I believe you have achieved excellent results, and I do not see many visible lumps on your abdomen. However, if you are noticing unevenness or lumps, it is not uncommon for residual fat deposits or scar tissue to create contour irregularities after a tummy tuck.

If the lumps you are experiencing are due to excess fat, liposuction can often help smooth the area. However, if the lumps are the result of post-surgical scar tissue, VASER liposuction may be the best option. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break up scar tissue while precisely removing any remaining fat, leading to a smoother abdominal contour.

I recommend waiting at least 4 to 6 months before considering revision surgery to allow your tissues to fully heal and soften. At that point, if the lumps persist and continue to bother you, a revision with VASER liposuction could be an excellent solution. When consulting with plastic surgeons for a tummy tuck revision, be sure to choose a surgeon experienced in revision procedures and VASER liposuction to achieve the best possible outcome.

Best of luck, and I hope this helps answer your question!

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Dear Diligent111294,
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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
