5.5 months post-lipo, still very uneven/wavy stomach + odd-shaped belly button. Is this normal or should I be worried?
Hi everyone, looking for some perspective from people who’ve been through this.
I had liposuction on my abdomen about 5 months ago. My stomach is still noticeably uneven/wavy and lots of contour irregularities. I’ve been doing consistent RF treatments (Venus Legacy) hoping it would help smooth things out, but honestly I haven’t seen much improvement.
On top of that, my belly button looks like an odd shape now. One side seems to be sticking out more than the other. Not sure if this is related to swelling, scar tissue, or something else.
I’m getting pretty stressed about it at this point since it’s been over 5 months already.
A few questions:
**1.** Is it still normal/possible to see improvement at this stage, or does 5.5 months usually mean the result is close to final?
**2.** Has anyone had success with RF/other non-surgical treatments for post-lipo irregularities, or did it end up needing something more (fat grafting, revision, etc.)?
**3.** Is an asymmetric belly button shape something that can still change, or is that usually permanent once it settles?
**4.** How long did it take before you saw real improvement, if you had a similar experience?
