I have been noticing these 2 mini pouches of skin on the end m my tummy tucky scar! It has been an year that I went through the surgery and unfortunately I cant afford them to be removed! Are they going disappear if I lose weight? Thank you!
Answer: Addressing Dog Ears After Tummy Tuck Surgery Thank you for your question regarding dog ears 1 year after a tummy tuck. Yes, it appears that you have two residual dog ears at the ends of your tummy tuck scar. I recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss this issue. Typically, dog ears can be easily addressed in the office under local anesthesia. Depending on your surgeon's policy, there may be minimal or no additional charge for this procedure since the dog ears were left after the initial surgery. While losing weight may help improve the area's appearance, it's important to address the excess skin directly to achieve the desired results.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Dog ears one year after tummy tuck Thank you for your query. The little “mini pouches” at the two ends of the scar are small dog ears and can be easily corrected by your surgeon, if you wish. The procedure is minor and is done in the office under local anesthesia. Please discuss this with your surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, those are excess tissue at the lateral aspect of your scar (dog ears). Your surgeon should easily be able to fix that under local anesthesia. I would believe that almost every good surgeon would not charge you at all to do this on their own patient and you should definitely discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Abdomen Yes, you have two dog ears left. I suggest going back to your surgeon and ask him/her to remove them in the office under local anesthesia. Perhaps there will not be a charge or a minimal one since the ears were left. Losing weight might help, but does not remove the excess skin.

Answer: Dog ears Thank you for your question and picture. Those could be called dog ears or just lateral skin excess. They are easily corrected and can even be done under local anesthesia. Did you ask your PS to make the scar as short as possible thus resulting in this skin excess or did the PS just do that during the surgery? In either case, you should return to your PS and he or she should definitely offer you a revision at no cost to you.
