May 20, 2010
Asked By:kakus in ny

After tummy tuck, flanks lipo and diastatis repair 20 days ago, I have big pleats fon the scar running to the hip. My left side has big pleats from the scar to the hip, from the back my hip look very uneven. I also have a stomach but my upper abdomen bulges out when I’m sitting and last I also have 2 big indentations on each side of my belly (see pic). Have you seen anything like that before? Do I need a revision?
