What should I look for when considering my options in finding the best doc for my lipo revision?

A combination of fat grafting and liposuction would be recommended to even out this result. I would shy away from energy based devices like laser liposuction or even radiofrequency and stick to power assisted devices to avoid further dermal scarring.

Hi Outlaw18, Unfortunately your surgery did not go as you planned. Revision liposuction is always more complex due to contour irregularities and scar tissue. Fat grafting is likely not needed and is rather unpredictable in these situations. In your case completion lipo to help smooth out the shadows and valleys which were previously created would likely be recommended. We recommend you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for further evaluation.

Thank you for your question and photos. Even without posting preop photos, it is obvious that your surgeon has no idea or technical ability to carry out body sculpting based on your muscle and bony anatomy. To carve fat based on the surgeon’s poor “visualization” of the abdominal area, is the result of what you end up with. These are advanced techniques promised by many, but achieved by the few who are well trained in these techniques. Also, to “etch” the abdomen and not consider doing the flanks, hips and back, will give unnatural body shape and results. BTW, you also demonstrate significant loose skin when you bend over, thus you might’ve not been the best candidate for body sculpting just with liposuction only. I use the VASER Hi Def Lipo techniques to give the best outcome based on your underlying anatomy. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. You should also look at the surgeon’s photos, don’t just believe what they promise you verbally. Good luck.
