Bump and uneven skin over belly button after liposuction, any suggestions? (Photos)

Tasteful386670Jan 9, 2021
I had liposuction (for the second time) on my abdomen a little over a year ago.. now i have a noticeable lump above my belly button which is more prominent on my right side. I recently had one vile of Kybella injected into the area to see if the fat will reduce in this way, but I am not sure if the lump is due to excess residual fat or scar tissue, or a combination of both. How can I determine if the lump is fibrosis tissue? And how to treat this? Cortisone injection? Kybella? Laser?

Irregularities and slight asymmetry are the most common problems after liposuction especially when some type of "etching" is performed or when energy (that generates heat) is added to the standard liposuction. Standard liposuction (without laser, ultrasound, or radio-frequency) works very well...
