Prior to liposuction I had very good skin elasticity three large pregnancy bellies and not one stretch mark on my abdomen. After lipo my skin looks weird and I have like a line across my abdomen that looks really weird. I’m not sure what I need to do to fix it but I hate my lipo results and I’m looking for the most minimally invasive but If not possible what would I need to do to fix these results ? Is it even possible ?
Answer: Liposuction You could get some improvement with Sculptra injections to help fill in the thin areas. Your surgeon was very aggressive. Sculptra is done in multiple sessions at least 6-8 weeks apart. It encourages new collagen to grow and fill in scarred dented areas.

Answer: Somewhat of a tummy tuck This is going to be very difficult to correct because you have multiple points or irregularity. One possible solution would be using a tummy tuck type incision and undermine your entire abdominal wall all the way up to your ribs and flanks and then pull the skin. Hopefully, this will conceal the contour irregularities.

Answer: Skin Irregularity After Liposuction You may have had too much fat removed, or it was removed inconsistently, which has caused the irregular dents and lines on your skin.

Answer: What is this dent that has been left after my liposuction procedure and how can I fix it? Thank you for your question and photos. Unfortunately, you did end up with a bad result due to your surgeon's inexperience. You not only have a horizontal "dent", but also asymmetrical vertical dents of the lower abdomen, not respecting the underlying muscle anatomy and normal fascial "dents" where the muscle groups merge together. So, this is the problem: a "most minimally invasive" approach will not fix it, as it was already suggested, but will cost you $$$. As a Total Definer board certified plastic surgeon, if you were my patient, I would redo the liposuction with the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique, remove the left over fat of your upper abdomen and rib cage, remove the left over fat in the mid lower abdomen. All this requires wide release of all your previous scars under the skin and bring out your semilunar lines laterally and create the natural depression in the upper abdominal midline. These are advanced techniques as opposed to the patchwork solutions which were already suggested to you. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
