I had a full Tummy Tuck with Liposuction and hernia repair 6 weeks ago. I have left over fat and loose skin above my belly button. My plastic surgeon offered to do some lipo and lower my scar, which will pull me a little tighter. I'm afraid this will not work because most of the lax skin is above my bb. I feel like only a second tummy tuck will get me good results. What do you think?

Answer: Revision tummy tuck
Good afternoon!
from your photos is does appear that you have a significant amount of excess skin above your belly button. A full abdominoplasty would be the best way to eliminate that extra tissue.
I hope this helps

Answer: Need for a revision tummy tuck
Hello. Six weeks after surgery the tissues are swollen and the final postoperative result isn't visible. You need to wait before considering additional procedures. Usually at least 3 months is necessary for the swelling to nearly fully resolve but it can often take 6 months or more. The safest thing to do is to wait for your tissues to heal before considering any additional procedures. If there is significant loose skin above the belly button then liposuction may not be the best option but it could give an improvement.
