Answer: Abdominal Contour Concerns. Thank you for your question. To answer more definitively, photos would be helpful. Causes of residual abdominal fullness and contour issues after a tummy tuck include: residual intra-abdominal fat, residual upper adominal subcutaneous fat, incomplete plication, and failure of the plication suture. Most of these issues are usually predictable or preventable and should be discussed before surgery. Discuss this matter further with your surgeon. Best wishes on your recovery.

Answer: Upper fullness There are a number of components. Upper fat excess, weakness of the abdo wall in the upper portion and then the intrabdominal fullness that include fat ad intra abdominal contents. If your issues are due to intra-abdominal fullness then this cannot be addressed. Usually the upper portion of the abdo wall is strengthened during the initial op and it would be unusual to reopen things to improve this area. The most common issue is excess fat in the upper region which can be liposucted. Often one is unable to remove all the fat one wants during the initial surgery as it would decrease the blood supply to the rest of the abdo during the initial surgery and performing liposuction on this area at a second stage is not an unusual occurrence.

Answer: Why is my upper stomach sticking out after a full Tummy Tuck? It's has been 18 months and I look 7 months pregnant. I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your results. As the others have said, photos are needed to comment on your particular situation. Until then, it would be a good idea to go see a board certified plastic surgeon for a 2nd opinion and go from there. If you have pre-op photos you can bring to your consultation that may help. Good luck. ac
