Skin fold after lipo 2 years ago - Options? (photo)

Dear Amy27369,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If you have an area of skin that is bound down or adhesions, it is quite easy to undermine and free it up under local.

Liposuction has evacuated the fat pad beneath your skin, and skin has scarred down to underlying deep connective tissue. The appearance can likely be improved by abdominoplasty or modified abdominoplasty. Choose a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon for such a procedure because scar from your liposuction presents a technical challenge.

I would suggest minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion to help tighten that area.

Most people have skin attachments along an anatomic structure, called “hemi-inscriptions” along direction abdominous muscle. In lean well defined people, especially those with tight skin. We see these lines and sometimes refer to them as six pack lines.
any degree of previous skin laxity before liposuction can make these lines. Look a little different afterwards.
To make a quality assessment we need a proper set of before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
