Lumpiness after ab etching and Vaser liposuction. How can this be resolved? (Photo)

May 19, 2020
Asked By:VCMM in Toronto, ON

I underwent a BBL with vaser lipo on my abs and flanks, followed by ab etching in Jun 2019. I have unevenness and lumpiness due to the ab etching. I had several rounds of cortisone injections to try to reduce the prominence of the abs and to smooth it out as well as aggressive massage. But there is still a significant amount of unevenness and irregularities, and scar tissue, especially under overhead lighting. How can this be resolved? I'm embarrassed to show my stomach. Thank you for your time.
