Do I need a revision? Uneven lipo on stomach area

Question

I had my liposuction 360 6 months ago. I noticed since the first week that I had an indentation on my tummy but I figured I would allow time to heal. I did all my massages and wore my compression garment religiously. However, turns out this never went away. I don’t have a smooth surface, I have 2 fat rolls and this indentation in between them and it has made me feel pretty horrible about my image :( I’m wondering if I will need a revision or if this can be fixed with diet and exercise? Thanks

Thank you for your question and photos. Preoperative photos would've been helpful. Based on these photos, you had a fat reduction liposuction, uneven results and no sculpting. Although these photos are of limited view, you still have excess fat on your side, too. As a Total Definer surgeon, liposuction 360  in my practice means VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 which is an advanced body sculpting technique. This is NOT the case with most plastic surgeons or non-plastic surgeons who dabble in liposuction. If that is your desire, see a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

This sometimes happens.  You can undergo liposuction again.  However, you may have excess skin and the skin may hang.  You may benefit from a tummy tuck.

Best Wishes,

I understand that it is a review that needs to be done and to see what happened there, our body has fat deposits that only if we do not submit to a very rigorous diet our body can have changes, but since it is a specific area I recommend a review of Lipoesculture
