i had some loose skin on my lower stomach. i was told by a couple plastic surgeons i need a mini tummy tuck so i chose one and went for it. i am thinking the doctor i chose was not the best doctor or maybe i am wrong. i am 6 months post op and i look horrible. i look huge and i have this giant overhang, i cant even imagine how it’s possible. is it swelling or is this my results? do i need a revision? i dont mind the skin over my belly but i hate the overhang
