4 months post op lipo of the abdomen and I have these indentations. What can I do to help it go away? Is it permanent? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and pictures. Developing irregularities after liposuction can occur in the abdomen or other areas. It sometimes can occur because of liposuction that was very aggressive or superficial. Sometimes these irregularities can occur due to scar formation and can improve with time. I would recommend scar massage to the areas and giving it more time. Make sure you follow up with your surgeon.

Hi, It's still a bit early in your recovery to know if these skin surface irregularities are permanent. There is no treatment laser or lotion that will reliably improve it except waiting. I hope that helps.

Indentations and irregularities following liposuction are generally caused by
1) liposuction performed too superficially and/or
2) indentations caused by folds in compression garments/ clothing during the healing process.
Hoping in your case that it is the latter, I would advise lymphatic massage and ensuring smooth-fitting clothing (avoid tight clothes that crease and constrict, tight waistbands/belts, etc).
If the issues persist beyond 1 year, I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon in consultation for possible touch-up, which may be include non-invasive treatments or small procedures.
Best,
Dr. Maryam Zamani
