Is revision surgery worth it, and how to know who to trust? (Photo)

Dear Jessallure22,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Very likely that deformity and bulge in pubic area is due to limited liposuction; more aggressive liposuction would correct it. Regarding breasts, exchange for smaller implants and breast lift revision seem to be a reasonable option. In person, second opinion consultation with board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in body contouring surgery (look at website photos) is recommended. Good luck.

I'm sorry to see your results. Without even hearing any details or knowing the surgeon(s), your scar and the interface between belly and pubis represent a global thought process among plastic surgeons that is misguided: the belief that the hole in the belly skin where the belly button was attached needs to be part of the excised skin to avoid a small vertical scar. Well, as you can see this leaves patients with unacceptably high scars, large pubic mounds, and a 'double bubble' interface between belly and pubic mound that makes the pubic mound look even more protuberant. Further, this also forces the surgeon to pull skin too hard to get it to come down far enough, leading to wounds like you have. It also leads to an over-lifted pubis too. You will need to heal for at least a year or more before considering a revision that can adequately address this issue. To be clear, your surgeon DID NOT do anything 'wrong', or in legal terms, 'below the standard of care'. In fact, he did the standard of care and that's the problem. Fortunately, surgeons are learning that placement of the long transverse scar in a very low position and leaving the hole behind to close vertically (leaving a small, midline vertical scar) is far superior from a visual aesthetic standpoint. Your breast scars can also be addressed too.
