Can a Tummy Tuck Fix Botched Lipo in the Tummy Area?

1. What is the defect?
The defect here seems to be mainly rippled skin.
There does not appear to be a lot of loose skin. There does not appear to be a big abdominal wall defect.
2. What do the proposed operations accomplish?
Lipo will take away more fat, but not redrape the skin.
Tummy tuck will redrape the skin, but will give you a large scar, you have a high placed belly button, so you will probably have a vertical scar as others have noted. It is also a longer operation with a longer recovery.
3. Is there another operation that can redrape the skin without the disadvantages of a tummy tuck?
Yes. You can do a "Suctionless" lipo by using a small cannula to run through the entire area and break up the adhesions. Then through a small incision using an endoscope you can free up the abdominal skin and redrape it.

Yes it can be helped by having a tummy tuck to an extent though. Your skin will be tighter and you will have less rippling but some of the irregularities will remain at the expense of an incision. Also sinch you dont have that much loose skin you will be left with a small vertical incision somewhere between the new belly button opening and the inferior incision mark. Another approach would be to do a tummy tuck but "float" the belly button where you dont cut around the belly button but simply release it to allow the skin and belly button to move downwards.
So you just have to be realistc and then it would not be perfect but better.
Good luck.
