Answer: Muffin top after tummy tuck Dear Nettie25, 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.

Answer: Tummy tuck There are many reasons that could explain the contours that concern you. How are out are you from surgery? It could be residual swelling. If the muscles weren't repaired it could be the contour you are seeing. If they were repaired it potentially could have failed. If you have gained weight it could be internal fat. It is best to visit your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
