I had liposuction about 8 years ago and the doctor agreed to a revision due to uneven results. Following that revision the area around my belly button still looked uneven and I decided to find a better surgeon who performed a revision a year later. I still wasn't happy but left it since 2 revisions seemed enough already. Looking at it now that I am a bit older (I am 43) I feel like the unevenness is getting ever more pronounced. Is there any other procedure that could sort this out?
Answer: Uneven contours An in person evaluation is best, but you may want to consider a tummy tuck to smooth the abdominal contour. It appears the issue is loose skin versus fat. You may be a candidate for BodyTite which uses RF technology to tighten skin. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Liposuction Revision with Continued Unevenness After two sessions of liposuction, there is very little fat left. The appearance is due to loose skin and how the skin drapes around the umbilicus. The treatment for loose skin is tightening by surgery or to a lesser extent by application of heat, e.g., RF, infrared, subcutaneous heating devices.

Answer: Liposuction Related Uneven Contour YES, there are ways to smooth and restore fit abdominal contour. Because it removes only fat but doesn't tighten skin, and because abdominal skin is pliable, and because many individuals have loose abdominal skin, especially post-partum women, liposuction alone for improvement of abdominal contour is surpassed in quality of result by procedures that both thin and sculpt the abdominal surface and tighten skin by removing all that is loose, lax, and redundant. A well designed and skillfully executed modified abdominoplasty will restore your snug even skin surface and will show the fit abdominal contours beneath.

Answer: Abdomen An examination is needed to be certain, but you might get a nice flat result with a tummy tuck. I don't think a mini tuck will be enough to flatten all the excess skin.

Answer: Liposuction results Meagan assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask your previous surgeons to forward the pictures they took. If you’ve had more than one operation that did you should ideally include before, and after pictures for each of the procedures. There are two single variables determine Liposuction results. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure in the first place, and the second is the scale of the surgeon. Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. Understanding somebody’s candidacy for the procedure is also paramount and getting a clear understanding of what the procedure can, and cannot deliver. It looks like you have some abdominal skin laxity. the case before the procedure, then Liposuction may not have been the ideal procedure if you wanted a tight abdomen. A tummy tuck may have been a better procedure in the first place. Understanding your candidacy, and how this reflects on what the procedure can, and cannot accomplish is part of having skill and experience as a provider making it clear to patients , why certain procedures are going to have inherent limitations.
