I’ve had lipo on my stomach several years ago. I noticed within months how uneven it looked and went back to the surgeon. He simply numb the area of concern and tried to suck out the unevenness. Well as you can see it didn’t work and now my stomach is so embarrassing. I only weight 126 and am 5’3”. What are my options? Surgical and/or non surgical.

Answer: Abdominal liposuction In your photo I notice you have stretch marks. I seldom agree to suction and abdomen, and will not do it if stretch marks are present, because the skin is too thin and stretched. It will not snap back and give a smooth result. Although repeated liposuction might improve your results, if the original was poorly done with uneven amounts removed, I suspect you may be wiser to consider an abdominoplasty Good luck, Greg Sexton, M.D.

Answer: Options-Surgical vs nonsurgical At this point I think your issue is more skin related than adipose related. You could try more liposuction or something noninvasive like coosculpting, but I think these would only be half measures. I'd advise a full tummy tuck. This would flatten ypur abdomen, get rid of your stretch marks, and also take care of the extra skin above your belly button.
