“Unhappy with Tummy Tuck Results”

Not Sure
Spent: $4,000 in Lebanon

I had a tummy tuck and removal of umbellical hernia 4 weeks ago. I have decided to do this as I had loose skin and stretch marks after delivery of twins.

However now that my stomack is less swollen, I dont like what I see. I fins that I still have loose skin and stretch marks below the belly button. In addition, my belly button is so small and is not open.

What can I do please? Will my belly button improve or this is how it will be forever? Do I need a surgery revision? I dont want to go through the surgery again. Can the loose skin be improved with exercising this time?

Hi, I can't see your picture properly as it is too small. Thanks for advise. I am going to see my doctor end of next month and see what he will say.
