I finally decided to have lipo to give me more curves last July. By 6 months, my results were so horrific (back rolls got deeper + stomach bulged and it looked worse than before surgery) that the doctor asked me to come back in for a revision. Even after the revision in March, it’s the same like before, and each month I look worse. My stomach now hangs and I can grab my fat. I never had this problem before surgery. At my heaviest, nothing bulged out or hung over when I sat. I workout religiously
Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for your question. And some patience where the skin is not so elastic liposuction Ken cars the skin to loosen and hang. This could be the case for you. With that being said, it is not uncommon to stage liposuction and tummy tuck as both of these procedures disrupt the blood supply in and Ken negatively affect wound healing when done in one setting aggressively. I believe that you could benefit from a tummy tuck As it will remove the excess skin and fat and work to flatten your torso. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck From your photos it appears you are a candidate for a tummy tuck. Liposuction can do a great job removing fat, but it does not remove any skin. A tummy tuck will remove the excess skin as well as correct any abdominal wall laxity. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Abdominoplasty Vs Liposuction Thank you for your question. In my opinion and based on these photos, I would recommend an abdominoplasty. With this procedure, I would be able to remove that excess tissue you are grabbing at between the umbilicus and the pubic region. In addition, there is a rectus muscle repair, the umbilicus is given a more youthful appearance, and I like to liposuction the flanks giving an hour-glass appearance. Keep in mind that the excess tissue to your bra line will not be removed in this process. In order to address this, you would need to be flipped mid-surgery adding to the operative time, anesthesia time, and your recovery. I would suggest you speak with a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and to discuss your options.

Answer: Tummy tuck or circumferential body lift Liposuction only removes fat but does nothing with the excess skin. After liposuction, your skin is now hanging. You will need either a tummy tuck or possibly even circumferential body lift. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Loose Skin Hi BrownineOne, Your skin can oftentimes respond in an unpredictable fashion after liposuction. Once the fat has been removed the skin may contract but seldom does it ever return a state without laxity. The skin laxity will always be more exaggerated when sitting or bending. Some surgeons employ radiofrequency energy under the skin after liposuction to help provide some degree of skin tightening. A tummy tuck does remove excess abdominal skin, but a formal evaluation would be needed to make an assessment. Unfortunately your expectations were not achieved with two procedures. We always suggest a consultation with your previous surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon to determine the next best course of treatment. Best wishes as you continue to heal.
