Liposuction Revision - Fat pocket around belly button? (photos)

P
P1309Apr 7, 2022

There is a fat pocket around my belly button which I believe is more pronounced than it should be because the doctor did a sloppy job. I think he over liposuctioned the lower half and didn't address the area around my belly button hence it's visually more pronounced. It's been weighing on my confidence and would really love a solution to even it out. Edited to add: I have reached out to my doctor in regards to this and he was unable to offer a solution.
