Are Dermal Fillers a Good Option for Filling Lipo Indentions on Stomach?

My office is a National Center of Excellence for Biopolymer complications and for this reason I do not advocate Aquamid for the body. It can cause granulomas in the longterm and may require fibrous release and excision using microsurgical techniques. Opt for other options for lipo indents.

If you get any small indentations from liposuction, then fat grafting into the subcutaneous layer or a more thorough liposuction with the micro canulas will usually permanently fix the problem.  Dermal fillers go into the dermis and not the subcut layer.  Some nonFDA approved materials are being used indiscriminately and are showing up later with problems.  Don't take the risk.  Sincerely,

Fat injections are the best answer for defects in the fat. I have used this technique many times over the years to improve contour abnormalities in patients referred to me after aggresive liposuction. I am also seeing much more of these kinds of problems in patients who consulted me after laser liposuction. This is another reason to avoid laser liposuction of all sorts. Classic liposuction with small instruments remains the gold standard.

Lipo indentations may be better treated with fat injections as opposed to filler. It would probably take too much filler to improve the contour. 

Contour depressions of the abdomen or any other area after liposuction are best treated with fat grafting.  The results are long lasting and rarely need to be repeated after a few months.
