I lost 70 pounds, I’m 42 years old, 5’4 and weigh 145 pounds. I workout 4-5 days a week. I had a full abdominoplasty. There was no lipo of the abdomen performed. I developed fullness in the upper abdomen s/p 1 mo. My plastic surgeon offered 3 ultrasound treatments which I did. I have a lot of laxity in the skin and the fullness is worsening. He discussed a reverse tummy tuck and removing a wedge from my inframammary area. I don’t think that’s enough. full abdominoplasty revision indicated?

Answer: 7 months post-op full abdominoplasty with upper abdomen fullness and laxity. Do I need a revision? Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photographs. It appears that you would most benefit initially from a revision of your tummy tuck procedure as you have remaining loose skin below your belly button. At this time, interrogation of your muscle repair along the upper muscles could also be examined to ensure that it did not fail contributing to the upper abdominal fullness. Hope this helps.
