Secondary Liposuction
Jun 4, 2019
I would wait at least 6 months after your previous surgery before repeating.  Swelling and scar tissue can take several months to dissipate and resolve.  However, the longer you wait the softer your tissues will become and the easier it is to perform a repeat surgery.  A breast surgery could also be done at the same time as the second surgery.  Thanks for the question and good luck.   
How can this loose skin and deformity after Vaser lipo be fixed?
Vaser Liposuction Damage
Jun 4, 2019
It is unfortunate for you to have to go through this.  As other posts have mentioned, there has beend significant damage done. At this point, I would suggest letting this heal for 3-6 months more before doing anything further.  You can try lymphatic treatments, such as Endermologie, to help speed recovering from swelling.  I would not do any treatments that use heat, such a RF, lasers, ultrasound, etc.  These will only produce more damage.   I concur with others such a Dr Hagstrom and Dr Min…
Revision liposuction of outer thighs: what is the best way to fix the dents and uneven results? (Pho
Botched Liposuction
Jun 4, 2019
I commonly see patients like you in my practice.  My philosophy is to to do the minimal amount of intervention to improve/correct the contour problems.  My approach would be to carefully remove fat from the elevated spots with targeted mini liposuction, collect and save this fat (and possibly harvest from other areas if available), and then carefully re-inject the fat into the low spot/dents.  This can, frequently, be done under a local anesthesia.  The goal is to create a more evenly distri…
Can you have the same place liposuctions for a second time 3 months after the original procedure?
Liposuction Revision
Jun 4, 2019
3 months would be the earliest I would perform revision liposuction on the same area.  It is best to wait even longer.  This allows for swelling to dissipate and tissues to soften.  When inflammation resolves and tissue are soft, revision surgery can be done easier with more control of the results.  Good luck. 
Can a revision correct bumps and lumps from previous liposuction?
Botched Liposuction
Jun 4, 2019
Thanks for the photos.  I see many patients who have previously had liposuction and are unhappy with their results.  Some may require just some additional spot liposuction, others may need fat transfer to fill low spots, and others may need a combination of both to get the best results. I your case, it appears that you still have areas with excess fat and fullness.  These area can be treated with additional spot liposuction and lipo-contouring to give you a smoother more refined abdomi…
I had liposuction and I’m not happy with the results, I look like I’m pregnant. What are my revision
Botched Liposuction
Jun 4, 2019
In reviewing your photos, I see that there are contour irregularities of your abdominal wall.  There are ways to improve this, but it is very difficult to correct it completely.  Techniques I use are 1. micro or mini-liposuction and contouring to reduce elevated spots of fullness,  2. careful scar release of the underlying tissues to create some “space” using specialized instruments, and 3. careful fat transfer (fat grafting) to the indented areas to fill and smooth.  This can be called…
Am I able to get Juvederm injected on my chin after I’ve had Radiesse injected to it a few weeks ago
Radiesse and Juvederm
Jun 4, 2019
It is common to layer various types of fillers in different areas to get a desired affect.  I should be safe to get Juvederm in the same place as Radiesse.  Thanks for the question. 
What are my options for bump and slight depression in lower lip after 2 mucocele surgeries?
Lip Bumps
May 9, 2019
Scars in lips can take several months to settle and flatten.  Lips tend to heal very well over time because of good vascularity.  I think you should have some patience and give it a few more months with conservative treatments before considering further invasive treatments.  
Bad Lipo Suction, Can I Fix It?
Bad Liposuction Fix
Apr 4, 2019
Over
the years I have seen and treated hundreds of patients from around the
world who describe similar experiences with having too aggressive
liposuction with resulting bad contour irregularities, scarring, and
discoloration of the skin.  Some of these patients have had their
procedures done in other countries to save money. Some have gone to
doctors who are not properly trained in all the nuances of liposuction surgery
and are inexperienced.  In recent years, I am seeing more of the…

Bad Liposuction

I have seen many patients with a similar experience as you.  I have treated hundred of patients to fix their “botched” liposuction.  Some patients will require just some additional spot liposuction to reduce high spots, others will require fat transfer to fill dents/low spots, others will need a combination of techniques, and in some cases a more aggressive procedure, such as a tummy tuck, may be the best option.  Many will require more than one procedure to make significant improvements.  B…

Brazilian Butt Lift Workout – Same Results As Surgery?
Butt Lift Workout
Apr 4, 2019
Butt lift exercises will increase muscle mass, improve muscle tone, and with intense workouts and dedication burn fat.  Overall your butt will look more tone, tight, and curvy.  However, this is only possible will focus, determination, and dedication to doing the exercises/workouts and diet. Exercise, however, cannot shape the buttocks like fat transfer can.  Some buttocks can be shaped to be very full, round, and projected with surgery that cannot be obtained with exercise.  Ultimat…
1 week post-op. What can I do to fix my butt after BBL surgery I am not satisfied with?
BBL post op
Apr 4, 2019
It is much to early to judge how your BBL will look like.  You are only 1 week post-op with significant swelling and bruising.  It takes several months for you to heal and for the final buttock shape to form.  The areas will soften and swelling will resolve.  I would not perform any revision until at least a minimum of 3-4 months have past.  Please be patient and allow your body to heal.  Good luck
