No Difference in Pubic Mound After Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks are a very popular and effective technique to contour the abdomen. In our practice, patients request a very low abdominal scar so that they can wear small bikinis and the low-cut jeans that are so popular here in South Florida. We always let our patients know that the lower the scar is on your pubis, the greater the chance that you may have prolonged swelling in this area. The pubic region is very dependent on lymphatic drainage to remove excess fluid. After a tummy tuck, some of the lymphatic system may be disrupted. In our practice, we provide our patients with two compression garments that specifically apply pressure to this area. This will allow the swelling to resolve more quickly and will provide support to increase the patient's comfort.

Hello,
Patients who have lost a good deal of weight are not always easy to improve with one operation. Sometimes, a standard tummy tuck falls short and either an extended tummy tuck or a lower body lift may be in order. Take into account that not all tummy tuck operations are equivalent.
You are probably best served by additional surgery if you are 6 months out from surgery or more. This additional surgery may be as simple as the removal of additional skin or a larger scale operation also involving liposuction and/or additional tummy wall tightening. Get together with your surgeon and review your "Before" and "After" images to try to develop your options.
