If you had an umbilical hernia repair during tt and still and a team flap? Also I was told I didn't have a lot of elasticity and fat. So what would cause my stomach not to be flat after the tt?

Answer: Why is my stomach not flat after my tummy tuck? I have very little fat. Thank you for your question and I am sorry that your tummy tuck results have not been what you anticipated. Depending on the extent of your surgery, and if liposuction was performed at the same time, your long-term results may not be evident for a year or more after surgery. This can be due to post surgery swelling, which spontaneously resolves and can be aided by the use of compression garments, or possibly the result of issues that may require some intervention, such as a seroma/hematoma/muscle repair failure/hernia failure, etc. Voice your concerns with your surgeon, and maintain close follow up.

Answer: Tummy tuck not flat? Hi. I'm sorry your result isn't what you want. There are a lot of reasons why your abdomen may not be as flat as you want after surgery. You may need more time to recover for swelling to go down and for recovery to take place. You may have fat on the inside of your abdomen which may require weight loss to optimize your result. You may require liposuction to remove fat from you abdominal wall and lastly you may require revision surgery to optimize your tummy tuck results...
