Tummy Tuck Revision + Dog Ears Q&A

I had a tummy tuck with lipo in summer 2022, then had lipo of flanks and back in spring 2023. I originally believed the flanks would be done during the tummy tuck and I wasn't concerned about the bra line at the time. I feel like I look the same, minus the saggy skin. I am not sure if I have dog ears? I see others on here with the same concern and similar result and their revisions look fantastic and what I was hoping to get the first time. Is it me or the tummy tuck that's the issue?

I had a tummy tuck early 2023. I was told by the surgeon that I would need an extended tummy tuck to be truly satisfied but I was taking part in a post operative pain management study so the standard tummy tuck with muscle repair was 100% free.I talked to the surgeon about getting the dog ears removed after. I moved and honestly was happy with the before & after. Now Im looking into dog ear removal, can I get just that done? What is the cost range? Do I need a full revision?

I had a tummy tuck in March 2023. Overall Im satisfied with the exception of the unevenness and the dog ears. Is surgery needed to correct or can this be corrected through diet and exercise? Thanks in advance!

Hello. Will lipo to the flanks be enough for me? I do not want an extended scar. It appears to be mostly fat to me and little to no loose skin.

I had a tummy tuck three years ago and I feel like there is still loose skin on the sides, dog ears and the vertical incision did not heal well. I am also not a huge fan of the belly button. Do I have enough skin especially near the vertical line? I also would like to liposuction my back but I am worried it will make my skin loose. Any other advice is welcome

I am going to have a tummy tuck revision on a dog ear and I was wondering if I should just go under or do local. I have a decent pain tolerance. It doesn't seem like a big fix. As a surgeon what do you prefer or suggest.

I had a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks October 2021. Every post op i expressed concerns of bulkiness at the end of the incisions on each side. I was told repeatedly that it was just swelling and to give it time. 2 years post op, still the same issue my a flap of skin hangs over the incision. My surgeon is telling me I need a hip flip ($3k) What should I do? I just want to be comfortable in my own skin!

I got a tummy tuck scar revision 7 months ago.can you let me know if I have dog ears? What can be done to correct my scar?

I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo of the flanks in July 2019, but am very dissatisfied with results and want a revision. My left lower abdomen has much more fat and skin than the right side. I have excess skin and fat on both sides. I hate my hypertrophic scar. I have excess skin in my mid abdomen I can easily pull. I have dog ears, and excess skin/fat around torso, love handles, and back. I want a tight/trim torso with taut skin. I'm 33, male, muscular build, weight lifter/healthy lifestyle.

I had my full tummy tuck with muscle repair 2 months ago and I am left with these bulges that wont go down on my hips. Are they dog ears? Will lipo help?
