5 years post op - Possible options for botched lipo? (Photos)

revisiongalinwashington
Had a tummy tuck and lipo. The lipo appears to have been done poorly. My stomach skin (about 70%) has no extra skin. In fact it feels like it’s stuck to my insides. I can’t pinch the skin at all. Feels like a balloon in my stomach is about to pop. I’m 5 years out and it’s weighing on me everyday. In addition to the hardness there’s other areas with more fat and lumpy like photo shows. It’s so unattractive and uncomfortable. I have had in person consults with several local doctors and have been told everything from do more lipo, fat graft, to use kybella to kill more fat cells. Help please. I really want to correct this. Am I just sol?
