Liposuction - Ask a Surgeon

To effectively correct contour irregularities caused by prior liposuction, the optimal solution would be a combination of Vaser liposuction and Renuvion, alongside the potential implementation of Fat Transfer. Is it feasible to undergo breast surgery concurrently? Yes, it is indeed a possibility worth considering. I recommend consulting with a Board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your concerns.

There are multiple different options including thigh lift, renuvion, breast lift, and fat transfer to the breasts. Each surgeon will have different options depending on their expertise. Without photos or an examination, a surgeon will not be able to comment on exactly which procedures you will benefit from. It is best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in-person. Good luck!

Yes, it is possible. Now days most of the plastic surgeons first use liposuction as a complement to the arm lift, if that is your case, you can discuss this topic with your plastic surgeon, also every patient is different, some patients might need just liposuction, others won't.

I routinely perform liposuction when I do an arm lift. Liposuction is a tool we use to optimize the contour of any area we are operating on. See a board certified ASAPS plastic surgeon in consultation. Good luck...

Thank you for your question. The quick answer is 4 weeks after surgery is too soon to evaluate the skin. Lymphatic channels take 3 months to reopen and skin remodels for a year. Keep your follow up appointments and express your concerns to your doctor but give your tissues the time they need to heal.

Thank you for the question.... What I try to explain to all my liposuction patients is that when you remove fat, it deflates your skin a little and the skin will be a little more loose. If you have a large volume removed, it may be a lot more loose. This is much more of a problem in the abdomen than the waist or low back. So, adding BodyTite or a Tummytuck are both reasonable options. Which one you choose depends on how much skin laxity is expected. I have been using BodyTite for a couple years now. The results are great! But, it is true, the majority of the skin tightening happens over the first 6 months, then just a little more tightening up to a year.

It can take six months for the full affect of tightening to occur. Some patients simply don’t respond. Four weeks postoperative is way too early to start assessing any result. I would stop worrying and be patient. I think you will eventually obtain a good result. Best wishes.
