I had a full tt w lipo and muscle repair 2 years ago. When standing I feel pretty satisfied, although when sitting I expected a more slim and tight look. I feel like I have a lot of xtra skin/fat remaining. Please let me know your opinion on whether I'm a good candidate for revision. And if so...which type of revision????? Thank you for your time.
Answer: Revision tummy tuck Overall, your result looks good. I agree that while standing, your outcome looks nice. Even a very tight abdominoplasty will relax with time. You may recall how tight your skin felt after your initial procedure. A revision could certainly deliver a tighter abdomen. However, this too would relax with time. Even people who are quite fit demonstrate some skin excess while sitting. I would recommend continuing your diet and exercise regimen. Become as fit as you possibly can become. If you choose to undergo a revision, you would certainly like for it to be your final revision. Improvement is definitely possible. Good luck!

Answer: You are a good candidate Hey there, Thanks for your question! I believe you obtained some great results from your previous surgery. It's normal to have some extra skin and fat after a tummy tuck with liposuction procedure. On the other hand, you're a good candidate for a tummy tuck revision. You should certainly consult with your surgeon for the best revision needed. Best wishes, Dr. Newall

Answer: Tummy tuck revision To gain further improvement, a thorough liposuction of the abdomen, followed by additional tightening would be appropriate based on your photos.Skin has a remarkable ability to relax over time. Even though at your initial surgery, the skin was pulled as tightly as safely possible, there is always some relaxation over time. There are two points to consider. 1. What is left behind is more important than what is removed. 2. Any further surgery involves potential risk and the enemy of good is better.Good luck!

Answer: Revision abdominoplasty? Thank you for your pictures. Your skin will have some looseness when you're in a sitting position. In a standing position your abdominal contour is good. You may benefit from a little Liposuction of your abdominal wall to improve your results. Also keeping a stable weight would be helpful if that is an issue.

Answer: Tummy tuck revision In my opinion no one can give you meaningful advice as to a particular procedure that may suit you best; you should be seen by your plastic surgeon for such. There are many relevent variables - are you at your goal weight, what is your skin elasticity, etc. Your best option may be weight loss, liposuction, revision abdominoplasty, or some combination of the three.
