Laser liposuction after abdomen surgery - is it high risk?

I had my appendix removed as a newborn. I’m prone to bowel obstructions, one that I had to receive surgery for. I’m considering laser liposuction. Ever since my 2nd surgery my weight fluctuates drastically. Im considering laser liposuction. Working out has been working well for ever area besides my abdomen, when I try core exercises I’m in extreme pain. How high risk is laser liposuction in my abdomen?

You probably are still seeing the effects of some mild swelling after removing your faja. It can take several more months before that swelling goes away completely.

There is nothing that will make a noticeable difference in that skin overhang short of having it surgically removed. While devices like Bodytite and Renuvion are effective, they can only produce mild to moderate skin retraction.

This is likely due to technical issues with the liposuction that was performed. The only suggestion I would have is to perhaps consider liposhifting with an experienced liposuction surgeon, though even that may be difficult to perform if you have a lot of scar tissue.

Thank you for your question. Smartlipo and Trusculpt are two options to reduce fat in arms. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure where you melt the fat and tighten the skin with a laser then the melted fat is suctioned out. Trusculpt is non-invasive and targets up to an inch of fat...

You would likely require a fair amount of liposuction, and possibly skin tightening with renuvion or bodytite
