Liposuction or Tummy Tuck Revision? I had an abdominoplasty 3 years ago and I have serious dog ears. I would like to have them fixed but I'm uncertain if I need a revision or if liposuction will help. I realize weight loss will help with this as well but I would like to address what option will be best for me.

Answer: Revision I would recommend completing the circumferential procedure. This essentially would make the tummy tuck into a lower body lift. This would also be combined with liposuction of anterior abdominal wall/flanks for maximal contouring.

Answer: Dog Ears When a surgeon is about to start closing a tummy tuck, there is always a bit more skin on the upper part of the incision, then on the lower. If the surgeon is not careful and work, the difference into the lower incision, you can end up with a dog, or standing cone, as it is referred to. Based on your pictures, I would recommend a combination of liposuction with scar vision to improve the contour.

Answer: What to do with that dogears? I imagine those dogears would bother you, so you should consider seeing your plastic surgeon about revision. In many cases like this, it would be performed with both liposuction and a significant skin excision requiring lengthening of your scars.
