While the procedure can help you achieve a more toned and contoured appearance, you may experience lumpiness and unevenness in the treated area after the procedure. This is temporary when your liposuction is done by an experienced liposuction surgeon who uses small cannulas and takes his time to do the procedure and doesn’t rush, such as Dr. Cameron Rokhsar in New York. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to smooth out your stomach after liposuction. Firstly, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial to help flush out excess fluid and reduce lumpiness. Additionally, wearing a compression garment can help minimize swelling and promote faster healing. Make sure to follow Dr. Rokhsar’s instructions on how long to wear the garment. Massaging the treated area can also help promote smoother skin but you should wait at least 3-4 weeks to start the massage. Maintaining a stable weight, avoiding sugar, trans-fats, and sodium when possible, and wearing compression garments or surgical dressings as directed are some other ways to increase the chances of smooth skin after surgery. The passage of time is the best treatment for post-liposuction dimpling. However, some treatments, such as massage, laser skin tightening, radiofrequency therapy, and ultrasound therapy, can help the skin flatten out faster. In some cases, if the lumps and bumps are areas of fat excess, they can be treated by Kybella injections or dilute steroid injections to cause fat atrophy. Depending upon their topography, they may also benefit from spot liposuction reduction. Dr. Rokhsar is an expert in fixing botched liposuction procedures. Some degree of lumpiness and unevenness is normal during the recovery period after liposuction, and most patients find that their stomach becomes smooth again within just a couple of weeks to a couple of months after surgery. If you have concerns about the appearance of your stomach after liposuction, you may consult with Dr. Rokhsar for guidance and advice on the best course of action.
