Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation Redo
Six years after tummy tuck,lipo,and breast aug surgery I am not happy with the results.

My aerolas look like he reshaped them with the lights off, and the scar beneath my breasts are darker on one side. My belly button has closed not completely but it looks abnormal, and a retention suture permeates my lower abdomen. Should I just do them all over?

From your description is sounds like you need some touch-up work. These may be minor but without an exam I could not be sure. Good luck.
