1. First look at the reasons for the unevenness after liposuction.

Fat is divided into superficial fat and deep fat according to its location. Liposuction achieves the purpose of slimming by sucking out part of the superficial and deep fat. After superficial fat is sucked out during surgery, a mesh scar will be formed under the skin, and the healing and contraction of the scar will drive the skin back. Superficial fat is thin and close to the skin. If the doctor's technique is unstable or the liposuction is uneven, unevenness may occur after the operation.

2. Will the unevenness recover after smoking?

Many people ask how long will the unevenness last after liposuction? There is no fixed answer to this. Personal physique, liposuction method and post-operative care all have an impact on the recovery period. The following points can help you avoid unevenness after liposuction.

1. Be sure to choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor;

2. Follow the doctor’s advice after surgery and wear body-shaping clothes for three to six months, because body-shaping clothes can help the skin. Tighten and eliminate cavities and cellulite in the fat layer after liposuction. Generally speaking, as long as the surgery is performed in a regular hospital, the possibility of unevenness after liposuction is very small.

3. How to repair the unevenness that still exists one year after liposuction?

Bumps and convexities that appear in the early postoperative period can be corrected by wearing shapewear. If it exceeds three months and there are still bumps and convexities after the liposuction effect is finalized, it will need to be improved through revision surgery. Currently commonly used methods include fiber optic lipolysis and autologous fat filling.

For raised areas, fiber optic lipolysis is generally used to burn subcutaneous fat without damaging the skin, drain the fat liquid out of the body, and eliminate raised fat masses.

For the sunken areas after liposuction, fat from other areas needs to be extracted to fill the sunken areas. Liposuction repair surgery requires high technical skills from doctors, so you must be careful when choosing a hospital and doctor.
