Lipoburn, 2019. How can this be treated? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to see you in person to discuss your revision options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Thank you Charming for posting your question here!I am sorry that you had to go through this, but don't despair , there is almost always something that can be done to improve things.In your case it is a little tricky since the scar is too high to take it out completely with a tummy tuck and too low for a reverse tummy tuck . but that being said , it can still be excised , given the size of it though you might end up needing to undergo serial excisions vs taking it all in one go, you will still have a scar , but if done right the scar will be minimal and much aesthetically pleasing. That being said the best way to assess you and to come up with a plan that is tailored to your needs is by visiting a plastic surgeon in person.I hope this helps , best of luck!

I’m so sorry to hear and see about your situation. Absolutely no doubt the best way to treat this is to just do excisional scar revision. This could possibly be achieve in just one stage and have quite an amazing result. If there’s too much tension on the wound, the scar might widen a little, but could be revised in a second stage. You really should expect great cosmetic result in the hands of a good surgeon.

Thank you for your question. You can most likely have these removed with single or serial excisions.

I am so sorry for what you have experienced. Scar revision will be needed to help both aesthetically and with pain. I encourage you to visit the ASPS website to find a board certified plastic surgeon near you. There will be links to their websites and you can review credentials and set up consultations with those that meet your criteria.

I am so very sorry that you had to go through this. A reconstructive plastic surgeon could insert tissue expanders to gain extra skin. Then the burned scar could be excised and leave you with a thinner and much less tender scar. Insurance might even possibly cover this expense.

Hello dear! sorry to hear that. Burns are a rare, but quite serious, complication of liposuction. They can be caused by friction from the cannula or by the high levels of heat associated with laser and ultrasound liposuction procedures. Burns are more likely to occur if the surgeon is too aggressive during the fat removal process. A physical consultation is needed to discuss possible treatments. Good luck

Liposuction by itself does not create burns to the skin.
Most likely, there was some secondary treatment involved with your procedure either a heat or ultrasound source.
Either consult with plastic surgeons in your community or consider consulting with those involved with burn surgery in local burn units to get an assessment in regards to what can be done to improve the scars.
Most likely scar revisions are going to be recommended.
This entails cutting out the scars allowing better healing With hopefully a less visible final out outcome
What happened to you is very unfortunate.
As a general statement, I do not recommend people travel, long distances for elective surgical procedures.
You may want to find plastic surgeons who work in Burn units in your area.
Best,
