Can You Fix My Lipo?

At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, we understand the distress and dissatisfaction that can come from a botched liposuction procedure. Liposuction, designed to sculpt and streamline the body by removing unwanted fat, can sometimes lead to less-than-ideal results due to various factors, including inexperienced surgeons or aggressive fat removal techniques. If you’re experiencing uneven contours, indentations, or incomplete fat removal, know that options are available for correction. In this blog, we’ll delve into the causes of botched liposuction and how our specialized correction procedures can help restore your confidence.

Common Issues Following Botched Liposuction

Botched liposuction can manifest in several ways, often affecting patients’ aesthetics and self-esteem:

• Uneven Contours: Aggressive or uneven removal of fat can lead to peaks and valleys, creating an irregular body surface.
• Indentations: Excessive fat removal can result in hollow areas, giving the skin a dimpled or indented appearance.
• Incomplete Fat Removal: In some cases, insufficient fat removal can leave behind areas of protruding fat, leading to dissatisfaction with the overall results.

These issues may not be immediately noticeable and can become more pronounced with changes in weight, skin elasticity, and muscle tone.

Correcting Botched Liposuction at Beverly Hills Aesthetics

Correcting a botched liposuction job involves a combination of advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s specific needs:

1. Liposculpture: This technique is utilized to even out the “peaks” by carefully removing excess fat, smoothing out the treated area, and creating a more uniform appearance.
2. Fat Transfer: For areas with “valleys” or indentations, fat harvested from another part of the body is injected into the depressed areas to level them with the surrounding skin.
3. Proprietary Correction Techniques: When peaks and valleys are in close proximity, we may employ specialized techniques to shift fat from the elevated areas to the indentations, ensuring a harmonious body contour without additional liposculpture.

Whenever possible, our surgeons perform corrections through existing incision marks to minimize additional scarring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from botched lipo correction is generally swift, with patients experiencing minimal downtime – typically just a few days. While minor discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common post-operative symptoms, these are temporary and usually subside within a short period.

Following the correction procedure, results can be permanent, especially if the transplanted fat cells successfully integrate into their new location. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is crucial to optimizing and preserving the outcomes. In some instances, touch-ups may be necessary to achieve the ideal result.
