Excess skin of abdomen

It looks like you may still have excess skin, this can happen in patients with poor skin quality. It is best to be examined in person.

More skin excision...

It appears as if your abdominal skin may not have contracted as much as expected by your surgeon or not enough of the abdominal wall was excised. In either case, you can undergo a simple revision by excising the tissues below the scar and lowering the scar (ie. Mini-tummy tuck).

Residual loose skin after tummy tuck

I would agree that you may have some residual loose skin after the tummy tuck which can be ameliorated easily with scar revision/removal of loose skin if it is bothersome to you.

11 months post tummy tuck.

It appears that your procedure may have been done after significant weight loss. It that setting, it is, unfortunately, not uncommon to lose some of the early tightness because of the poor skin elasticity. It is also true for all patients that when sitting, and the chest and pelvis come more closely together that the abdominal skin will have more redundancy. If the skin were tight while sitting, you would not be able to stand erect. It sounds like you are having a touch... more

Rolls post tummy

From your photos it seems as though you have excess skin.If you already have a scar then it would be easy to remove a little excess skin.
