Looking for suggestions on loose stomach skin

Question

Hello, I had liposuction and I now have a bulge with indent around my belly button. I did get a lipo revision by a different doctor but the indents and loose skin seem to be there to stay. What can I do to get rid of that loose skin? I’m not sure if I have enough skin for a tummy tuck? The skin is loose above and below my belly button. I’ve had bodytite which did help some. I’ve also had Morpheus which I don’t feel helped at all. What would be my best option? Thank you

Dear Cristina,
Unfortunately, you are experiencing the most common adverse effect/complication of liposuction, contour deformities.  The possible cause is indeterminate without your full history, i.e. age, weight history, childbearing, along with other important information.  Regardless, now you are dealing with a difficult result to manage.  Depending on those history components and an examination, you might be a candidate for fat transfer re-injection into the depressed areas, fat shifting techniques, laser assisted liposuction, or even a mini tummy tuck.  Seek out a few consultations with American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeons for an examination and discussion of your options.  Good luck!
