Question

I had this buldge/fat above my csection scar which i didnt get in my first csection. Im so bothered why i got it this 2nd time. Can vaser lipo flatten this bulge or remove the fat and flatten my lower abdomen? I just has csection 3 months ago and as much as possible i dont want to get tummy tuck. Im so bothered by this and i want it to address it

Developing a stubborn bulge after C section is a common problem, which fortunately is responsive to power assisted liposuction. Apparently, you are healthy young woman, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising, likely moving all day long while caring for two young children at home. All of the aforementioned qualities bode well for your fire results after Liposuction. However, I would suggest waiting another three months before undergoing outpatient Liposuction (allow for healing of the C section scar).
Hope this finds you well.

Hello @bikinibliss thank you for your question and showing you pictures. What I can see from your photos is an excess of skin and a vaser liposuction won't address that issue (what it does is to remove fat cells). Is best to have a proper assessment to determine the best option for you and what you want to achieve. I suggest you have mini tummy tuck tighten the muscles that are already a little distended and taking out a little excess of skin.A mini tummy tuck is a minimally invasive alternative to standard abdominoplasty, which involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper abdomen and it can remove some of the stretch marks.A person with good physical condition who has a flaccid abdominal skin with minimal excess and little or no distension of the abdominal muscles may be a candidate for this procedure.The good thing is that the scar is really low and small.Best wishes!

VASER or traditional tumescent liposuction will only remove excess fat but will have no effect on excess skin or muscle diastasis.  A tummy tuck would remove the excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles:  rectus diastasis repair.  The tummy tuck scar could be placed below your C-section scar.

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Vaser won't help with this

A scar revision will make it better. It can be done awake with a local anesthetic.
