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: Managing abdominal dent after liposuction Hello! I would first recommend extreme caution in looking to noninvasive treatments. Oftentimes they are expensive and worst case scenario they can create more deformity. One way to manage this is to release scar tissue surgically by using liposuction off suction to break up the area, possibly adding some light fat graft behind it. The other would be tummy tuck options which would release the skin and tighten your muscles. You do not need skin removal with the tummy tuck - a mini approach, without belly button scar. I wish the best of luck to you. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon - you can find one at plasticsurgery.org.

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.
