How to repair the loose skin after lipo that was used for BBL? (photos)

MariahYou have an excellent result however I appreciate your concern and frustration. First question, how long postop are you? It can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin contraction to occur. Unfortunately your redundant skin is above the umbilicus and mini tummytuck is really not an option for you.  Try to stay patient and positive and enjoy your result, because overall it is excellent!

Hello.
Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. Based on your images it appears you may benefit from skin tightening (BodyTite). Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

Hello, thank you for your inquiry and photos. Congratulations on your surgery, based on your photos you have excellent results. In this case in regards of the skin seems like only tummy tuck would help to obtain flat belly results. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons. Best of luck!  

Thanks for your question. You have great results from your liposuction. It is normal for everyone to have the skin you mention when sitting down or bending over, without that extra skin you wouldn't be able to stand straight. Best is to keep following your surgeon's post op care instructions. 

Hi Mariah, congrats on a great result! Skin tightening through microneedling with radiofrequency is a great nonsurgical skin tightening option. As far as more invasive options go, Renuvion (J-plasma) gives the most tightening and would help with the overall appearance. Both procedures have a small amount of downtime and are capable of impressive results. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and skin tightening expert; our practice is located here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello,I'm sorry you wasted money on technology that is much hyped but lacking any clinical evidence as being effective in truly tightening skin. You look like an ideal candidate for some sort of skin removing procedure, aka tummy tuck, but skin only. A physical exam would confirm whether a limited or modified version would be sufficient ('mini-tuck'). Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons with a decade or two of experience in body contouring. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos. You have a nice shape after the liposuction, but your skin did not tighten up as expected. I would recommend Renuvion, J-Plasma, treatment of the abdominal skin. This can be done through the same small incisions you had for your liposuction. This can be done with minimal sedation and tumescent anesthesia. The Helium plasma is revolutionary among the devices used for skin tightening.See a board certified plastic surgeon who offers this technology. Good luck.

Everyone will have some skin folding when they bend. To stimulate tightening you may consider a subdermal Renuvion treatment or the BodyTite procedure. 

I think the result is great. You need a little extra skin to compensate when you naturally stretch the skin upon your extension of your torso. Without it you wouldn’t be able to stand tall. Congratulations on an excellent result!!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Congrats on your recent surgery, you have great results! Keep in mind that it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
