New pics of my TT. I am very unhappy with the partial results I got so far. Before having the tummy tuck in jan 2011, my belly/love handles were even and now I can totally tell that one side has a different shape than the other. Also I feel my love handles are very loose, worst than what they were before.I would like to find out what can be done in order to correct the unevenness of my tummy tuck sides.
I now have a round shape around my waist and I did not have this before. Very Upset!
