Options for bad lipo and cortisone atrophy repair? (Photo)

Asked By:Intellectual661024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

The past 1.5 years have been a nightmare. After a breast revision, I was convinced to add “conservative” lipo to my abdomen. Post-op, I noticed a dent near my belly button. A cortisone injection to fix it caused tissue loss, leading to two fat transfers that filled the hole but left lumpiness and the dent still visible. Now they suggest a third fat transfer, but a second opinion recommends non-surgical options like CoolSculpting or RF therapy. I’m desperate for a less invasive solution. Advice?
