Extra skin and bumps on stomach from fat pouches -Too much lipo - how can this be fixed permanently? (Photos)

Question

Hi- Im 44 yrs old. 115 lbs- 5'1 I have always been petite but in my younger years made many mistakes getting 4 liposuctions. I got told the skin wouldn't be flex like this bc the tightening procedure they use when doing the surgery. Well Wrong. My Body is a mess. I have all this extra skin and bumps and fat pouches . I know getting more liposuction will only put me in a worse hell. I got told a tummy tuck isn't for me bc im all torso and the scar would be too big. I did exiles and it temporary works but doesnt last. What is the answer for a permanent fix for this?

From what you describe &mdash; multiple prior liposuctions, skin laxity, contour irregularities, and fat pouching &mdash; additional liposuction or energy-based tightening treatments will not provide a permanent solution and may actually worsen the problem.The most reliable corrective option in patients with upper abdominal skin looseness and contour deformity, especially in shorter-torso patients like yourself, is often a reverse abdominoplasty.A reverse abdominoplasty:Removes excess and damaged skin from the upper abdomenTightens contour irregularities and smooths liposuction deformitiesImproves skin quality in areas where traditional tummy tuck may not address wellUses scars placed under the breast fold, which are typically well hiddenThis technique is frequently used in revision body contouring when standard abdominoplasty alone is not ideal.Bottom line:For permanent correction of upper abdominal loose skin and post-liposuction irregularities, a reverse abdominoplasty is often the most effective and durable surgical solution.
