Should I go back to the same Surgeon for a TT revision? Or seek a TT revision specialist? Scared pls help (Photo)

Dear Floridian,   Thanks for posting your pictures and sorry for your problems. A side view picture would have been helpful.    There is no doubt that your tummy tuck is sub optimal - the central scar is too high and the lateral scars are too low. Physical exam will help to determine if the central scar can be lowered. The lateral scars can be easily elevated to a more practical and attractive level.   Your best option financially is to let your surgeon revise your surgery, as long as you trust him and he, or she,  can show you before and after pictures of successful tummy tuck revisions. Other wise , consult with other experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can show you optimal tummy tuck results in their photo gallery.    As you can see from your experience, not all results are the same, because experience, technical skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeons wisely.                          Best of luck,                                         Dr Widder

Since you are not happy with the results of your TT done 10 months ago, I would seek a second opinion from a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery..
Judging from your photos, your lower abdomen will need a full revision, and the scars may need to be extended laterally and posteriorly, probably with some liposuction. The lateral scar is too low and this can be elevated going posteriorly as well.
Thank you for your question, and best of luck to you.

My advice would be to check your current plastic surgeon's credentials and reputation and make sure they are a real plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and are experienced in body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty.  If they check out and you feel comfortable with them performing the revision, and if they will do it to your satisfaction at a discounted rate or at no charge, then consider letting them continue the journey with you until they have proven themselves worthy and you are content with the result.In the meantime, If there are other plastic surgeon's in your area, I would still suggest getting some other opinions and researching their credentials.Going to a so-called specialty center may or not pan out. Many doctors call themselves specialists in various things but are not necessarily more qualified than anyone else, and frankly, could better better salesmen than surgeons.Do your research and go with whom you feel the most comfortable.  You should not feel "scared" going into surgery with the right plastic surgeon.Thank you.
