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.

Answer: Liposuction Irregularities Although I agree that rapid and widespread sales of Vaser liposuction machines have led to a rash of poor outcomes, I don’t believe two wrongs makes a right, and would not sell you on unproven technology that, although won’t harm you further, will do little to correct the problem: scar tissue. I know this seems unimaginable, But you’ll need a full abdominoplasty. Just because you don’t have much skin redundancy, don’t buy into the concept that your scar will be too high, or worse, that you’re simply not a candidate.

Answer: Post Lipo - Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, RF (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, InMode Forma), Cellutone/Z Wave/Evive this likely is going to need trsculpt FLEX to relax this with RF treatments like venus legacy or froma/contoura. surgically a tummy tuck would be needed to fix this properly with fat grafting. SEe an expert as I do now 60%+ revisions since the number of VASER HD lipo doctors are increasing with minimal experience. If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing. We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Uneven after liposuction Dear Lauraxy, I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Answer: High definition VASER liposuction This may be corrected using high defintion VASER liposuction revision. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
