I have had a revision tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and the results are bad. What can I do?

Question

I had a tummy tuck 18 months ago and the upper abdomen was still lose. My surgeon was reluctant to do anything and sent me for a second opinion . The second surgeon thought the area could be improved. So my surgeon operated and it looks worst. I cannot leave it like this , but where do I go to put it right ? I live in Derbyshire UK

Thank you for your question and sorry to read of the problems that you have had. It would be helpful to add your pictures of before your initial surgery, following the first surgery and then your current state - fornt facing and side profile. This would really help to understand where you are at currently, and what if anything can be done to rectify the problem that you have. If you place some pictures I will look at them and give you a more helpful answer.BW

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that are experiencing problems following your initial abdominoplasty and then your revision. If you are still dissatisfied with the cosmetic outcome of the procedure it will be appropriate to inform your surgeon to make him/her aware.At that stage depending on the situation, you might want to have a second opinion to evaluate your options, should further surgery be indicated or not. Unfortunately it is not possible to be any more precise in terms of advice without a physical examination and an accurate evaluation of the problem.Best of luck.Andrea Marando, Manchester and LondonPlastic and Cosmetic Surgeon (GMC Specialist Register)Certified European Board of Plastic Surgery (Ebopras)Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)Member of the Italian Society of Plastic Surgeons (SIPRE)Member of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (AICPE)Member of International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS)

It would be very difficult to give an advice without any photo. The date of the last revision would also be helpful in determining whether you are still in the course of healing or not. It usually takes around 6 months to fully heal and only then will you see your final results. If the revision was done just a few months ago, it would be best to wait for the body to fully heal before concluding your results.
