I recently had a full TT 8 months ago & my upper abdominals are now quite loose but below my BB is pulled tight. My PS is suggesting Lipo around my BB. A full muscle repair was done. I'm 53 years old.

Answer: Should I Consider a Reverse Tummy Tuck? Thank you for the question but you may consider posting additional photographs that show your full abdomen, for better advice. Generally speaking, the “reverse” tummy tuck procedure is very rarely performed because it addresses the upper abdominal wall area only and can be associated with problems such as distortion/lowering of the inframammary folds of the breasts. I would be concerned that if you proceed with your plastic surgeon's recommendation of liposuction surgery only, that you will be left with loose/redundant skin. For more precise advice, you may wish wish to seek consultation with additional well experienced board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly. Best wishes.

Answer: Full tummy tuck??? I don't have good news for you, it seems the surgeon did a "lazy" work, for some unexplanaible reasons. You did not receive any full tummy tuck.Firstly, you DO NOT have any fat accumulated on your abdomen, neither down suprapubical or around or above the belly button.A full tummy tuck involves/requires total undermining (dissection) of the suprapubical and high abdominal apron / cloth, up to the submammary fold of the breasts (not touching it, a narrow margin must be left intact to allow nourishing arteries to pierce the flap). Needless to say, this full tummy tuck (full? I don't like this term, it is a NORMAL tummy tuck, would you pay for "half a car" or for a "complete car"?) requires the release of the belly button leaving a circumferencial scar around the navel, where is this scar in your abdomen??? I don't see it.Additional clue: when you bend I can (anyone can) see the perfect delimitation and outlining of the "virgin" area on top and the operated area below, like a curvaceous covex line. IMHO I think the upper tummy is intact, virgin, un-operated; why so? misterious... keep in mind that a short procedure significatively reduces the billing that the hospital charges to the surgeon...My advice: change surgeon, and go to a less lazy-less witty surgeon who really enjoys doing a complete-normal-average work on your abdomen. The abdominoplasty must be repeated.
