Lump around belly button after liposuction (Photo)

Contour irregularities can occur from liposuction and it appears you may have a little fatty pocket left behind. As you are 10 months from surgery you won't likely have further improvement without intervention. I encourage you to visit with your surgeon to discuss a revision to smooth this out.

For residual fat, liposuction can be used. For residual skin, minimally invasive radiofrequency like Renuvion can be done. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your concern about the lump around your belly button after liposuction, along with your history and pictures. It’s crucial to accurately diagnose the lump before proceeding with any interventions.
Diagnostic Steps & Treatment:
Ultrasound: To confirm whether it’s a hernia or fat accumulation.
If Hernia: Seek medical intervention.
If Fat: Consider isolated liposuction under local anesthesia, ideally through an existing port or a discreet incision.
Recovery: Expect a recovery time of approximately 7 to 10 days post-isolated liposuction.
I hope this gives you a clear pathway forward. Good luck with your diagnostics and potential procedure.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen
