Hello. Will lipo to the flanks be enough for me? I do not want an extended scar. It appears to be mostly fat to me and little to no loose skin.
Answer: A small amount of liposuction can correct the appearance. Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Liposuction Liposuction may do well for you and remove the excess fat. With liposuction, there is some limited skin tightening.

Answer: Liposuction From the submitted photos it appears that liposuction to the hips and flanks should improve your contours. Depending on the amount of suctioning recommended you may be a candidate to have it performed in the office surgical suite under local anesthesia. See your surgeon for more information.

Answer: No The stretchmarks present on your hip skin reveal a loss of skin elasticity. Once your hip fat is vacuumed, the skin will be loose and your contour still wanting. You already have a scar in the neighborhood so it won't be a significant difference with regards to scarring, but a very big difference with regards to results.
