After lipo,Dr took too much fat,I was left with sagging skin.Solution was a tummytuck, now I was left with a scar to high up, now my bikinis/hipster don't cover scar. what can I do? Do I have to repeat procedure? I believe fluid still under my skin and it is taking time for the skin to reabsorbed. Need help.

I had a tummy tuck 2 months ago. The incision was placed too high and my bikinis/underwear don't cover it. Do I have to do it again?? It was a stressful procedure, what can I do?

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

She performed a liposuction, then I was left with sagging skin. She didn't charge me for correction(tummy tuck), but scar was placed to high up and can't use my bikinis or hipster. I had to buy different underwear and bathing suit :(

If you wanna have a TT in latin america. The best place is South America (Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia)
I had my TT done in Bolivia at very affordabel cost and the scar are perfect.. because plastic surgeons there are used to deal with patients who are in bikini 90% of the year,,,so the sacrs has to be perfect.
