I thought I was getting a complete TT. Woke from surgery with what looks like a mini with a long scar. Doctor did lower muscle repair.I had 3 old laparoscopy scars at end of BB. Scar was level with my skin, hardly noticble.Im 3 months out. The skin is pulled tight n the lap scar is stuck buckled inward. Makes me look like my BB is 3 inch slit or I look like a stab victim. When i button my pants or lay on my side it looks like butt cheeks on my stomach.Not what I expected. How to fix? 5ft3 115lbs

Answer: Tummy Tuck Revision
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it appears that you will probably need a full tummy tuck to get rid of the issues that you don't like. The best answer is to be evaluated by a board-certificied plastic surgeon and come up with a plan that will make you happy.

Answer: Full versus Mini Tummy Tuck
I think it would be important to see a more close up before picture. Based on the before picture, it does not look like you need a tummy tuck, but on the after picture, I see stretch marks that would indicate that a tummy tuck procedure would be indicated. Additionally, if you needed muscle / diastasis repair (which may not be evident in pictures), a full tummy tuck would be required. I think it is very important to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to see where the misunderstanding happened between you two. It is impossible for us to comment as none of us were there for those pre-op conversations. Generally, I am not a fan of "mini" tucks expect in ideal candidates as the result from a full tuck is so much better in the general population.
Good Luck.
