I think it should be clear by my pictires why I'm so unhappy with my results. I had more confidence before the surgery, so I do regret getting the tummy tuck, but I'd still like to fix what I dislike. I can't go to my surgeon because he's proved to be self righteous by ignoring my concerns and brushing me off. What if anything could be done to fix these results?

Answer: Scar revision The scar extended slightly higher laterally than ideal. This can be corrected by revising the scar so it runs lower on your abdominal wall. It will have to be lengthened to accomplish this.

Answer: Unhappy with tummy tuck results We are not seeing your before pictures, but the center looks good to me, the sides do have a high curvilinear scar. Revision would be helpful to try to lower the scar on the sides but I would wait at least months or even a year, to allow skin the relax and stretch. It is always appropriate to go back to the initial surgeon to discuss revision as they may be able to offer it to you at a lower cost. Revisions are worthwhile and may help you feel happy with your results. Good luck!
