What is this dent that has been left after my liposuction procedure and how can I fix it? (Photos)

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.

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

Minimally invasive procedures are most likely to get you minimal results at a not-insignificant cost. Micro-lipo and fat grafting might offer some improvement.

The gold standard for results would most likely be an abdominoplasty (depending on what your exam shows) , which unfortunately involves a large scar. You'll have to decide if that scar is worth the trade.

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.

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.

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.
