Do I need a second round of Lipo? (Photo)

Question

I had a bbl with lipo 360 done Oct 2023. I am now almost 5 months post op and have noticed that the middle of my abdomen has not gone down. It feels like the fat there was not liposuctioned. Do I need a revision or a round 2 of liposuction there ? I am also thinking about possibly combining it with a mini tummy tuck. Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated !

When deciding between liposuction or a tummy tuck you must consider the underlying issues.  If the abdominal contour is from subcutaneous fat but there is good skin elasticity then liposuction alone should give a nice result.  If the contour is from skin laxity, excess fat, and/or muscle separation then a tummy tuck is the right way to get the best results.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for Tummy Tuck to tighten the muscles and correct this small sagging skin also, combine with belly, waist, flanks and back liposuction  to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area, and adding the J-plasma to stimulate the skin retraction 
Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Your photos are not clear, but it looks like you have skin laxity and excess at and above your umbilicus. A mini tummy tuck won't help. It also appears like you have muscle laxity. The combination points to prior pregnancies, and if I'm correct, I'm certain that only a full tuck will give you what you want.

La segunda liposucción, al igual que la primera, puede tener varios beneficios potenciales dependiendo de las necesidades y circunstancias individuales de cada paciente. Algunos de los beneficios que se pueden esperar incluyen:Mejora de contornos corporales: La liposucción puede eliminar depósitos persistentes de grasa que no responden al ejercicio o la dieta, lo que puede mejorar significativamente la forma y los contornos del cuerpo.
Resultados más definidos: Una segunda liposucción puede ayudar a refinar los resultados de una primera cirugía, permitiendo un mayor grado de precisión y perfeccionamiento en la definición de los contornos.
Corrección de asimetrías: Si quedaron asimetrías o irregularidades después de la primera liposucción, una segunda cirugía puede corregirlas para lograr una apariencia más equilibrada y armoniosa.
