Thank you for your question. Some irregularities can be improved and some may not. Often I would recommend a patient who comes to me with this is to allow me to go back in and try to break down some the scar tissue build up. I would also recommend using a laser component to help with skin tightening. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with these type of issues. Best of luck to you.
Dear dreambigorwhybotherI understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Contour irregularities after abdominal liposuction are often addressed with a tummy tuck. During this procedure excess skin is removed and the contour is improved. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.
Your condition is going to improve in the coming months. It takes good 12 months for liposuction result to mature. Massage of any kind will help. Only when result is mature you should consider some ather options like revision liposuction or TT, if needed. Good luck.
Unfortunately, I have not found a 'cure' for the skin irregularities and cellulite/wrinkling post liposuction in "older" patients (sorry, but I'm even older than you). Massages do help and even Morpheus 8 (radiofrequency combined with microneedling -topical anesthesia only) and in more severe cases or with excess skin, a mini-abdominoplasty all help.Beware of false claims of skin smoothing or further surgery to fix the issues.Best wishes.Dr. Taranow
