hello austin2018Sorry about this, you should visit or contact a board certified plastic surgeon about this concern. #male #options

Thank you for your questions regarding a crease on your abdomen ten months after undergoing VASER hi-def for abdominal etching.  Since you are ten months after the procedure, I believe most of the scar tissue is resolved.  I would suggest you undergo more liposuction.  Since you have already had a liposuction procedure, I would suggest using a VASER.  The VASER will help to melt the scar tissue and eliminate any residual fat.  Traditional liposuction may not be enough to achieve the results you are looking for.  Also during the procedure, your linea alba or midline from your sternum to your belly button can be improved.  In addition, the transverse inscriptions may also deserve a touchup.  Thank you for your questions regarding revision abdominal etching or VASER hi-def.  When considering VASER hi-def or abdominal etching, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed many of these procedures.  If you have any more questions regarding abdominal etching or VASER hi-def, please contact my office.  Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your question and photos. The problem is not only the crease across the belly button that stands out, your results are not natural. Your gynecomastia was not addressed either, which all points to a fake suboptimal result. Your surgeon made the inscriptions where he/she thought it might be and was not based on the true muscle anatomy.Basically, I would suggest redoing the whole operation and include sculpting of the chest as well. I use the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique to achieve natural results.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hello,I see from your image the area you are not happy with.  It appears that you are losing some of the highlights that you expected from this procedure.  I would suggest a spot treatment of this region once the underlying tissue has softened sufficiently, with a focus to the area in question.  When I perform this procedure we have a detailed post-operative protocol for the initial 2 months, and the use of a vest that I make custom for each patient that ensures the persistence of the areas highlighted or etched out.Best wishes,Dr. Sergio Maggidrmaggi.comAustin Plastic Surgery Center

Hello, good day! thanks for your question and pictures!I recommend a revision procedure. You have good results, but they need to be improved.With Hi-def VASER lipo, you can achieve the results you want. Good luck!

Hello, thanks for sharing your pics. It looks like you would benefit most from a redo procedure. The creases need to be obliterated with fat grafting and the definition recreated also address the chest. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in hi def body contouring.

I agree with my colleagues that it is likely that your results can be improved by undergoing a revision, but the approach needs to be very thoughtful.  You may want to have some of the etch further reinforced, and you may benefit from focal fat grafting to make the contours appear more natural.  There can be a challenge in the setting of scarring from the initial procedure.  Furthermore, your skin needs to be assessed to determine if you would benefit from a skin tightening procedure.  Emphasize your concerns to your surgeon.  Best of luck!

Thank you for the question.Skin creasing can occur following body sculpting procedures and are best improved by using the SAFE liposuction technique.  This requires the use of a basket tip cannula and can be performed in the office.  I wish you good luck in finding an acceptable solution and hope this answer is helpful.
