Fat grafting or tummy tuck for botched liposuction? (photos)

May 29, 2018
Asked By:tinkerbell2 in American Fork, UT

I'm told I'll need a tummy tuck to correct this botched lipo after an attempt at revision that made it worse. It's not obvious to me how a tummy tuck will improve this and I'm worried about making it worse. Is my skin too thin now to pull tightly without obvious deformities? (photo attached). Wondering if you doctors on here concur and what you'd recommend?
