What to Do with Uneven Tummy After Vaser Lipo (Contour Irregularity, Very Uneven Skin Tone)? (photo)

Question

I think I've done the most stupid thing ever! I went through Liposuction (Vaser Lipo) which left my belly uneven and ugly. It’s not only the contour irregularity but also very uneven skin tone. I only weight 53 kilos. It’s been more than 3 months after the procedure. I massage my tummy every day and it is still tender and a bit painful. I'm scared that it won't improve I would like to know which procedure would help me get my tummy to a round normal shape and even skin tone.

I would give it 4 to 6 months and then I would elevate all of the tissue again and try to even this out.  This will depend upon the amount of remaining fat and postoperative care.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser. So, you must have patience. The swelling will gradually diminish while the contours of the treated area(s) can continue to improve up to one year post procedure; becoming more apparent in appearance. If you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined. Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for another revision surgery.

To be honest very hard to see these irregularities to contour and color changes in the posted photos. Best to seek IN PERSON evaluations.
