Is it possible to fix Marble skin/ Mottled skin after Liposuction on torso? (Photo)

Question

I have had traditional and laser lipo done several times on my stomach, back and thighs in the past few years. After a particularly aggressive laser lipo that was done in Miami in 2013, my skin has turned into a marbled mess. Completely have lost self esteem and can never show off my stomach or back again. Anyway I can fix this?

This is unfortunately permanent and due to blood vessels in the skin that are damaged.  Venus legacy can help and hyperbaric oxygen but typically this is a long term issue.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Although rare, it is possible following laser assisted or ultrasound assisted liposuction to develop areas of hypo or hyperpigmentation of the skin, especially when the laser/u/s probe are used very close to the skin.  It is difficult to tell from your pictures exactly what is going on, I would recommend following up with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over options for treatment.
