I feel I have a bad result and the contour is awful. I'm 5'4 150 pounds and the same weight before the tummy tuck, maybe 2-3 pounds less. I believe not enough was removed and not enough Lipo was performed. Do I need a complete revision? Another tummy tuck? Or some aggressive Lipo? Or all of the above? Also, how bad do you feel this result is? Sorry I don't have before pics but there wasn't much difference.

Answer: Limitations of a tummy tuck I am sorry that you are unhappy with your tummy tuck results. There are limitations based on many factors including your height/weight ratio, skin laxity, thickness of abdominal tissue, etc.. What you are pulling on laterally is not treated by a standard tummy tuck but can be by either an extended or circumferential procedure. Girth is also related to the amount of visceral( internal fat over the organs) that you have as well. If the abdominal subq layer is thick then perhaps lipo can help thin that out as well.

Answer: Revision tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. I agree that you did not get an optimum result. However having not seen the before photos I cannot say that at that time better could have been obtained. At this point however I do believe that in order to obtain optimum results you should try to lose 10 to 15 pounds. At that point a repeat tummy tuck possibly extended with aggressive liposuction and redo bbl should considerably improve your results. Good luck.Peter Fisher M.D
