I have lipo 360 and a bbl 6 months ago, I’m left with this odd bumping on my stomach, what is this and what can I do?
Your outcome is a direct reflection of the two variables that determine Liposuction outcomes. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure. To assess your candidacy we need to see before pictures. The second very well is how the procedure was performed and this is probably where the problem came from.Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is far more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons have truly mastered. Liposuction are in a small minority. Doing this procedure well is not necessarily the standard or the norm.Liposuction should be considered a permanent and irreversible treatment. If done poorly, it is very difficult to improve the outcome. Some improvements may be possible. Assessing someone for revision surgery is far more complex than that of Primary Liposuction.Revision work is many times more difficult than primary Liposuction so provider selection is absolutely paramount.The following are some general guidelines and recommendations for finding the best provider. This may be helpful for anyone seeking primary body, contouring or revision work.To find the best provider, I suggest patient schedule multiple in person consultations with experienced plastic surgeons in their community. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body or facial characteristics to your own. An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. An experienced provider should in fact have hundreds or preferably thousands of before and after pictures to choose from for commonly performed procedures. Being shown a handful of preselected images, representing the best results of a provider’s career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results will look like in the hands of each provider.There is no correct number of consultations needed to find the best provider. The more consultations you scheduled the more likely you are to find the best provider for your needs. Take careful notes during each consultation, especially regarding the quantity and quality of before and after pictures. It’s not a bad idea to bring pictures of your own body/face to use as reference when reviewing before and after pictures. The biggest mistake patients make is scheduling only one consultation without properly vetting or comparing providers before scheduling surgery.I Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
