I had "airsculpt" in May 2023, and I have irregularities on my lower abdomen. Is it possible to correct? I don't think the pictures show how bad it actually looks. Any advice is much appreciated!
Answer: Revision options Personally, I usually do not treat the lower abdomen without treating the upper abdomen. Doing so it makes the patient’s abdomen look like it’s half treated. While we can all see the contour irregularities of your lower abdomen, we usually need to see proper before and after pictures to have context to the outcome. Patient with mild to moderate skin laxity are at higher risk for having contour irregularities from any form of Liposuction. It’s very difficult to improve the contour after liposuction. Attempt at improving the contour can make things worse. The term fibrosis is often used for liposuction outcomes that were aggressive, left some scar tissue and especially an uneven fat distribution, which is what’s causing your contour issues. The counter issues are related to a fat distribution, not scar tissue. I suggest you follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure. I also recommend you rely exclusively on in person consultations if you want to discuss treatment options. Any surgeon who thinks it’s easy to improve your outcome should show you a good collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar Body characteristics. Be careful with doctors who thinks it’s easy to correct this. This may involve the provider who did your initial procedure. Removing more fat can make it worse. It may also be possible to improve the outcome, but not to have it look like it did before surgery or what your upper abdomen looks like. There may be some treatment options to improve the overall appearance of your abdomen. Correctly, done liposuction of the upper abdomen Could give him more consistent appearance to your abdomen. This does not mean, leaving you with an uneven contour of the upper abdomen, but having the same fat thickness would look a little more natural. As I mentioned, I typically would never treat the lower abdomen without treating the upper abdomen because the appearance looks different and quite surgical. In fact, if I treat the abdomen, I generally treat the entire torso.Good luck, Mats Hagstrom MD
