Is this a tummy tuck gone wrong. I was under the impression that I was going for an abdominoplasty. But post OP it looked like a mini TT. The skin is still loose and wrinkly and there's a overhang of skin at the left corner of the scar....which I don't think is going to improve.

Sorry I don't have a before photo...didn't take one...kicking myself for it.
