Tummy tuck needs revision. But not for why I thought, who is at fault? Who should pay? Can this be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:Energetic923993 in Cyprus

I have an uneven tummy tuck with a pucker on the left that has been there since I took off the bandages. I’m at a loss as to what to expect. Dr says I have some extra skin on the tummy starting to over hang, so needs revision. Is this anyone’s fault? It definitely seems that the unevenness and pucker are his fault, can this be fixed? And I though TT scars were under your underwear line? Mine is VERY high, is it because my mons pubis also got a lift?

Did my muscle repair fail? (Photos)
Richard Mark Winters, MD says:

The likely cause is that your lower abdominal wall is a bit stretched out and may not hold the sutures... there are several ways to deal with this, and it generally becomes a judgement call at the time of surgery... in my experience, a transverse suture line (as opposed to the usual vertically...
