I received a tummy tuck three years go and no lipo was preformed. It really bothers me and make me look like I have wider hips or major hip dips. I originally wanted he BBL was told I had i do the tummy tuck first. I'm not 100 happy and have the longest scar. It's almost to inches past my hip bone.
Answer: A revision can be done to fix the dog ears follower by laser treatments to reduce appearance of scars Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Revision The dog ears can easily be trimmed in the office under local anesthesia. The length of your incision was dependent upon the amount of your loose skin. Please discuss the trimming with your surgeon.

Answer: How do I correct my tummy tuck dog ears? Liposuction, tummy tuck, and BBL can all be done safely together to provide the best contour and results. It is hard to imagine the exact problem that you were having without seeing photos. Dog ears are treated by extending the incision and cutting out the excess skin and fatty tissue. From your explanation, it seems that you have a contour deformity which could best be treated with liposuction and fat transfer (BBL). #Staybeautiful #RealDrWorldWide

Answer: Dog ears Dear clucero, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, dog ears can be corrected under local anesthesia. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
