Can the right side be corrected with a tummy tuck revision? (Photo)

Question

Following my procedure I have noted the right side is fuller, sticks out more and the scar is higher that side. How could this be corrected?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

A small correction to your right side can be performed to improve symmetry.  The excess skin can be removed along with a little liposuction if needed.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

You have developed a small dog ear and that will only be corrected extending the incision 1-2 inches back and a tiny bit of liposuction. 
Be encouraged!!
You will look awesome after.

Hello @daz100, thank you for your question. It is important to remember that we aren't completely equal on both sides; there are always some differences that may or may not be noticeable. It is wise to keep this in mind when setting expectations and planning your surgery.A revision or non-surgical treatment may improve the volume in the area. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear daz100,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to see your scar clearly on this photo! It looks that you have a small asymmetry due to fat content, which can be treated with limited liposuction. Again, I can not comment on scar itself since it is not possible to see it. Good luck.
