I had a tummy tuck in January 2018. No muscle repair as I had no need for it. My problem was mostly loose skin and some fat deposits. I had good results for about 4 months then progress stopped and no further reduction in the pooch area was evident. My scar, where my old belly button must have been is lost quite unsightly. My ps is willing to fix it all, no charge. All thoughts are much appreciated.

Answer: Redo tummy tuck Dear Susan, Thanks for posting your before and after pictures. With all due respect, after observing your before pictures, indeed you needed a full tummy tuck with muscles tightening. That would have given you a flat stomach with no unattractive pooch. It seems that you had just a mini tummy tuck, which is usually sub optimal and eventually patients request full tummy tuck. Additionally, your scar is very unattractive and it will have to be changed to a 'U' shape placed in the natural crease of the pubic and groins area. It will be in your best interest to consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures of redo tummy tuck in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with flat stomach, nice belly button, narrower waist, improved body posture and low scar. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: TT Revision The "pooch" may be excess skin, residual swelling, or even a fluid collection. So first, that needs to be sorted out to determine the best treatment. If it has not gotten better and bothers you, a revision could reduce the excess tissues and make that old BB scar better. Its a fairly common revision and simple to do in many cases.
