I underwent a tummy tuck 7.5 months ago excess skin over the incision from 4 csections. I'm 41, very athletic (run marathons and do bootcamp style high intensity workouts). My doc is bd certified, but my results are underwhelming. I can barely tell the diff between before/after. She only did lipo along the suture line. Belly button looks awful (despite scar massage, gel strips, etc) and I don't think my waist looks any better than before. Do I need a revision, just more lipo, or what?
