I had a TT Feb 2022, I love the placement of my scar but don't love the bunching of skin on my lower belly. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Answer: Mini tummy tuck Candidate Thank you for your question, based on the picture you appear to be good candidate for mini tummy tuck to remove the skin excess. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Resurfx combined with melarase creams can help with pigmentation, Morpheus8 for skin tightening Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Excess skin It's difficult to tell with the provided photos. If you have excess skin it can be excised. If the bunching is only present when seated this is normal. If it is loose when standing then it can often be addressed. See your surgeon for an evaluation.

Answer: Excision of vertical skin redundancy In some patients, with very distended abdominal skin, one must consider not only horizontal but also a vertical skin excess. This seems to be the case with you. In order to eliminate vertical skin fold, additional eliptic skin excision between BB and pubic scar may be considered. It is something to discuss with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear mrsstar, 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.
