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 am 5 months post surgery I had a Brazilian tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and upper abdomen here in the uk with a certified surgeon. I am not happy with my lower abdomen it is not flat. I have been numerous times to my surgeon and at my last visit he had a good feel and has ruled out complications. He says its skin and some fat that if I lose weight I should go flat. I really didnt want to lose more weight as I look too skinny everywhere else. Do u think its botched ?
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 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.
7 months post TT & MR. Wanted flank lipo but surgeon wouldnt & promised a flat belly. I exercise 6 days/week, mostly strength training. Lower pooch is hard and uncomfortable. Surgeon says its better than pre op but my clothes are tighter now. Is this something that can be fixed? I spent so much and truly unhappy. Im 5 feet 132 lbs. Lower pooch is hard and uncomfortable. Would simple scar rev fix this?
I am 34 year old Female and in February 2022, I had a tummy tuck with MR, Lipo to flanks, Breats lift/augmentation. 3 months postop, my doctor did additional lipo to my right love handle which was significantly larger than my left. 3 months later and its still much larger but seems to be more skin than fat. If I were to request this extra skin be removed, how would it be done? I feel as though an extended TT would of eliminated this issue all together.
My surgeon told me I didn't need lipo to the flanks when I had my tummy tuck (January 2022). She did a full muscle repair and tightened the skin. I still feel I look quite boxy and wonder if I would benefit to return for lipo to the flanks. I know my bone structure is quite boxy (igh hips) and I'm pretty low fat (17 percent body fat) but I wonder if lipo would help give me more shape. Or is not worth another surgery?
On Feb 1, 2022 I had a tummy tuck with flank lipo. Within the last month I look like I have a beer belly. It all pouches out. From under my boobs to the TT scar. Do I need a revision?
