Regular Lipo 5 weeks ago on flank. 1 scar healed with indentation and uneven contour. Looks like dimpled inwards. Any treatment for this?
Answer: For now, wait Since you are still healing, I would suggest that you wait until at least 6 months. If the dimple has not resolved itself at that time then speak with your surgeon about revision options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Contour irregularities five weeks after liposuction. At five weeks due to swelling contour abnormalities are fairly common after liposuction. It's too early to consider any treatment.

Answer: Lipo scar Five weeks is way too early to be concerned. Wait at least 6-9 months before considering scar revision. Massage the scars daily and it is likely they will settle down, if not simple scar revision under local anesthesia may be done. Be patient!

Answer: Lipo scar healed with dimple and indentation. Any treatment? Thank you for your question and photograph. It is difficult to give you the best advice without an in-person evaluation to diagnose the cause of the indented scar appearance, but as you are recently out from surgery I would recommend you allow your liposuction results to mature before pursuing any treatment. The indentation is likely the result of tissue swelling around the incision site and should improve with time. If there is no improvement after 6 months or more, you may consider a surgical scar revision or fat grafting to help remove any contour irregularity.

Answer: Lipo scar healed with dimple and indentation. Any treatment? You may want to try massaging the scar to help it smooth out. Remember, it takes scars a good year to mature. If all else fails, you can always undergo a scar revision but best to wait a couple of months to see if it improves. Good luck!
