Irregular skin texture (lumps/bumps) and a distorted belly button after vaser liposuction & BBL (Photo)

Question

I had a BBL done with Vaser Liposuction mid April last year. Its been over a year post op but my abdomen still has lumps and bumps, my belly button now has a frowned shape too compared to how it looked originally. What are the best options available to fix these issues and improve the appearance?

Krishna Vyas, MD, PhD, MHS · Answer

To address the irregular skin texture (lumps and bumps) and the distorted belly button after your Vaser liposuction and BBL, there are a few options that could help improve the appearance:
1. Micro Liposuction: This technique involves using a fine cannula to smooth out areas of irregularity in the skin by removing small amounts of fat from the lumpy areas. It can be effective in reducing uneven contours.
2. Fat Grafting: In cases where there are depressions or uneven areas, fat grafting (transferring fat to areas that are sunken) can help smooth the skin and restore a more natural contour. This might also be helpful around the belly button area to improve its shape.
It's crucial to schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon or seek a second opinion from an experienced surgeon to discuss your concerns and receive personalized recommendations based on a thorough assessment.

Dear Bright813121,
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.

Thank you for your query. I would recommend micro liposuction for the lumpy areas  and fat grafting for the area around the belly button and areas of depression. Please discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeons  who can help you. All the best!
