Updated: Tummy tuck & BBL. - My belly button was not on the right side. She was too busy to get off the phone when she marked me and marked my line off-center. Never was my belly button to the right of my center. She has avoided me from the first office visit after surgery when I asked about it. Beware of doctors that blame the patient. .
Answer: You need a revision tummy tuck because your belly skin pulled to the right and belly button went to the right position. Your belly skin has to be elevated and pull to down more symmetrically to the down and you need a scar revision to your tummy scar because it is uneven. and we advise to you a 360 Lipo to have a more narrow belly.

Answer: Addressing Asymmetry and Revision Options After Tummy Tuck and BBL Dear Yily Doll Not, I'm truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced following your tummy tuck and BBL procedure. It's understandably distressing to deal with issues like unevenness, the misplacement of your belly button, and asymmetry in your hips, especially when it feels like your concerns are not being fully addressed by your surgeon. My recommendation is to first approach your original surgeon to discuss the possibility of a revision. It's crucial for your surgeon to understand your concerns and for you to express how the outcome has impacted you. If, however, you feel uncomfortable or unable to return to your original surgeon, I advise seeking a second opinion from another board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in revisionary body contouring surgery. A skilled surgeon can assess your situation and recommend the best approach to achieve a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing outcome. When selecting a surgeon for a second opinion or potential revision, look for someone who not only has the technical expertise but also demonstrates a willingness to listen and address your specific concerns. I wish you the best of luck on your journey towards correction and hope you find a solution that brings you peace and satisfaction. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon

Answer: Off center belly button It is unfortunate that your result is imperfect. I think that the main issue is that the surgeon did not treat you in a professional manner during marks. The issue at hand now is correcting the misplacement of the umbilicus. This can be corrected, but will leave a scar on the right side of the umbilicus that may look worse than the asymmetry you currently have. I would find a plastic surgeon with you can develop a rapport with, and discuss options.

Answer: Belly button off center Thank you for your photos! I am sorry you have experienced poor results. I clearly see the uneven hips, lower belly and off centered belly button. Try to address your concerns again with your surgeon and if you don't get anywhere or don't feel comfortable with her preforming a revision then seek out a second opinion for revision surgery. Best of Luck!

Answer: Tummy Tuck & BBL Sometimes liposuction and tummy tuck results are not 100% perfect, because we can not control how the body heals. A revision surgery can always be performed to achieve 100% satisfaction. It is usually best to go back to the original surgeon to get revision at a lower cost and allow them an opportunity to make it right with you and who trusted to perform your surgery.
