I’m a 38-year-old female who is 5 foot one and weighs about 143 pounds. I had a tummy tuck done in April 20 24 so I am about eight months post operation. I had lost about 90 pounds before my tummy tuck and I’m wondering if this is as good as it’s gonna get. I feel like I was left with a big stomach and just want to confirm whether or not I have been botched or is this not the final result? My biggest concern is the bump or pooch below my belly button. I have attached two pictures if it helps.
