Have you asked yourself, what to do if I got bad liposuction? Do you risk it again?
This 42-year-old patient was unhappy with her body after bad liposuction. Now, see the results following VASER HD body contouring of the stomach, flanks, back and BBL.
After putting hours of time researching and choosing a surgeon, the last thing patients want to see are results that leave them worse off than before! So what does it look like? And more importantly, what can we do about it?
Signs of a Bad Liposuction Procedure
Now, it is important to note that liposuction results typically take 3-6 months to stabilize. This is because of all the possible swelling from the procedure. Once your results are stable and final, what should you be looking for to tell whether or not you received bad liposuction?
There are several contour and shape irregularities that are clear signs of bad liposuction. If you see yourself having any ripples and wrinkled skin in areas were lipo, that is often a sign that not enough fat was removed from the area.
Another sign is the appearance of dents or divots in these areas which are the result of being over-aggressive in the liposuction. Additionally, an improper post-operative protocol may result in both internal and external scarring.
Finally, any unevenness or irregularities in shape and contour can result from bad lipo. This happens for several reasons such as taking out fat asymmetrically, fat grafting asymmetrically or simply not knowing the patient’s exact preferences for their ideal aesthetic.
Liposuction Revisions
Some surgeons shy away from performing liposuction revision cases. It is often more difficult than a primary liposuction surgery due to the irregular contour and possible scar tissue.
Furthermore, many patients who are interested in liposuction revisions had a bad liposuction experience the first time so there are some hesitancy and fear in their decision.
Regardless, Our Surgical Team M.D., FACS, performs liposuction revisions every week and has decades of experience with numerous secondary liposuction cases.
Keys to Correcting a Bad Liposuction Result
When performed by an experienced surgeon, VASER high definition liposuction is the number one option for all liposuction revision surgeries. The main reason for this is that it allows for comprehensive fat removal of both the superficial and deep fat layers by melting the fat prior to liposuctioning it out.
In the case of divots, it is too difficult to just add fat to a small region so the solution is to remove all the surrounding fat layers to make it even. A secondary advantage of this method is that it allows for even fat transfer and smooth results since the fat is in a more liquid form.
All of the divots and skin rippling will be easily fix to provide you with the smooth contour you originally desired.
Finally, long, detailed initial consultations with tools such as our Buttock Assessment Tool and HD Liposuction Body Scale allows Our Surgical Team to know with absolute certainty that he and his patients are on the same page in regards to the ideal look that they desire.
