Is it common to go for a tummy tuck and to find out that the surgeon could only do a partial? (Photo)

I went to my consult and pre-op appt expecting a full TT. Never did my PS mention the option or possibility of anything else. To my surprise after surgery taking my bandages off I realized that he did full muscle tightening w/ full hip to hip incision, but only partial skin removal below the belly button. I think he floated the belly button? His only explanation was it was a "miscommunication" and sometimes the laxity just isn't there. Also, not sure what the post-op redness to my abdomen is.
