I received lipo 360 in October 2021. Even after following instructions I have unevenness that makes me self conscious. Is there something I can do, or another procedure, that would smooth my stomach? The skin is not loose.

Answer: Uneven after lipo Dear Thoughtful586830, I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Answer: Irregularites following liposuction While the irregularities should continue to improve with additional time, (and certainly external treatments like external ultrasound, and lymphatic drainage massage procedures would assist in the natural softening and remodeling process), a secondary procedure to equalize and release some of the scar tissue that is causing the irregularities, may be necessary. This type of procedure is an absolute "finesse" type procedure with a very small canula, not to remove fat but to equalize and smooth the fat and release scar attachments. An external compression sponge, (like Reston) with a properly fitted compression garment or binder, would help minimize recurrence of the irregularities.
