Discouraged with results of TT! - Chicago, IL

I went to see another ps to get a second opinion yesterday. I showed him the bulges and how my stomach protrudes when not holding it in. He thinks my ps wasn't aggressive enough with the muscle repair in my upper abs. He said I would need to do a full tt over again to retighten the upper abs in order to be flat. He couldn't feel the stitches for the mr so he asked if the ps actually did the mr on the upper abs since that part sticks out even when holding my abs in. Of course since it is a full tt its full price, $9500 to fix this. He would do a little lipo on those bulges and my sides so I have some curves since I look like spongebob squarepants. Redo the mr and fix my bb to be an innie again. He's not removing any skin, just redraping it after the mr. Plus my ps used dissolving stitches for the mr, this guy uses permanent stitches. Maybe I need permanent stitches to hold it in place, idk. But I really don't want to pay for this again! Ugh!

Went to my 6 month appt. The doc still thinks the bulges by my belly button are fat pockets. He said he can lipo those areas and a little on my lower abs but I have to pay a fee of $750 for the room and supplies. I scheduled it but still not sure if I should do it or not. What if it doesn't help. Now I'm out another $750! I meant to ask him about doing an ultrasound on that area since it's seems only my upper abs and sticking out so I emailed him later that night. He said he's 99% sure the muscle repair is still intact and an ultrasound my not be covered by insurance so it could be a large amount out of pocket. I wasn't expecting that reply since he told me previously he could do an ultrasound and never said there would be a fee. Same with the lipo, at my last appt he said if the bulges don't get better he would lipo them as an office procedure, again no mention of a fee. And the lipo he is going to do is in the office as I will be awake and he will just numb the area. So why the fee? I may go get a few second opinions from others surgeons and see what they say. I'm torn on what to do. I will try to post pics this weekend though nothing has changed.

I think the bulge by my belly button is larger. Could it be swelling? Plus it looks like below my bb is bulging. Plus there's that weird indent above my bb. In the pics it looks like I'm leaning back but I'm not. I'm sitting straight. I wonder if I should send these to my ps.
