Botched etching. 26 y/o 5’2 110lb. Lipo/bbl 1.5 years post op. My abdominal lipo was done with etching technique. It’s lopsided and one side is more sculpted than the other. My goal would be to have a smoother appearance and minimize the look for the harsh lines. I understand this a complex situation however what would give a better outcome? Fat grafting to the shallow areas or removal of fat in the fatty areas? Or both?

Answer: Choosing surgeon Dear Outlaw18, finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.

Answer: Abdominal Etching Revision Hello Dear, Thank you for the photos and detailed information. The extra fat on the belly can be extracted and then a smooth two pack surgery can be performed to give you the desired appearance that you wish to have. An even look on the both sides will enormously update the overall look on your abdominal region. So seems like you would need fat removal and body sculpting via two pack surgery to give the area a more beautiful definition.
