Why do I have deep indents and possible scar tissue 2 weeks after Vaser Liposuction? (Photos)

Asked By:alyssar510 in San Diego, CA

I have a significant indentation on my stomach two weeks after having Vaser liposuction. The area above and below the deep indent and it's very very hard I'm worried that it is fibrosis. At my follow up appointment the nurse at the doctors office said that all of this is completely normal and it will all flattenen out.I noticed the indentation right after the operation. Will this resolve on its own? Or will I need a revision? Does it look like he removed too fat?
