One year ago I had 220 cc I believe it was, of fat removed from my abdomin for fat transfer. At first my stomach was very uneven and I had some creases above my belly button that my surgeon “popped” out about 8 mntha after my lipo was performed.My stomach is left uneven and there’s a bad looking indentation just below my belly button you can really see from the side. Is there anything I can do to fix this?What would cause this to happen?My PS is a long drive away so hoping to get some help here

Answer: Uneven after liposuction Dear Cougar67,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.If you are considering a revision surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Contour irregularities after liposuction Contour irregularities after liposuction are common and unpredictable, especially in the abdomen. Liposuction removes the subcutaneous fat and then the skin needs to "redrape" over the dead space. If the skin is loose or the elasticity is poor, then contour problems can occur. Most of the time this can be improved with non surgical techniques such as CoolSculpting, SculpSure, Endermologie or the other dozen devices used to improve the results of liposuction. These are all outpatient and do not require any anesthesia. Please see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to help with your situation.Good Luck!
