Options Available for Those Dealing With Bad Stomach Lipo Results

Liposuction is a viable solution to treat fat deposits in areas such as the hips, abdomen, or other body parts that resist weight loss. Still, unfortunately, about 20% of people who have had liposuction performed ask for a corrective treatment.

This mainly occurs in older patients with poor skin elasticity, causing bumps or lumps after liposuction. Still, it can happen to patients of any age if they do not work with an experienced plastic surgeon. Here are a few options for stomach liposuction revisions in Orlando, plus which one we consider the optimal choice. 

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Lasers also stimulate collagen and elastin renewal, resulting in less bruising, improved skin elasticity, and a smoother result. This procedure benefits patients who have lost the elasticity of their skin. 

Nonetheless, most laser lipo procedures use the same invasive techniques that often give patients botched liposuction results to begin. Less invasive options are usually a better option to prevent further issues. 

Consider a Tummy Tuck

Liposuction is not the optimal choice of belly fat for some patients. In particular, postnatal women may have very loose skin and weakened muscle walls in the abdominal area. In these cases, a tummy tuck may be recommended. This skin tightening procedure provides more than just fat removal. It adjusts the position of the muscles and skin and removes fat deposits and other irregularities. Nonetheless, patients not in need of skin tightening during their revision should not get the tummy tuck.

Combination of Liposuction and Fat Grafting

If the skin has been stretched over the fat for a long time, it may not tighten or shrink once the fat is removed. This effect is most common in the abdomen and buttocks but can occur all over the body. Areas with stretch marks are unlikely to tighten after liposuction. 

In cases where there was loose skin, indentations, scarring, or irregular thickness before surgery, a combination of liposuction and grafting can be an appropriate solution. This procedure is designed to transfer fat from one part of the body to another.

Use a Compression Garment

Surgeons have patients wear compression garments to reduce swelling. After a few months, the skin begins to shrink to adjust to the new, slimmer body, and the compression garment encourages the skin to adapt to the unique contours. Your plastic surgeon will tell you if this option is right for you.
