Belly is swollen and wrinkled after mini tummy tuck revision - what are my options?

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Based on what you've described, it sounds like you may need to seek a second opinion from a different doctor to get a better understanding of what's causing the swelling and wrinkling in your belly.

It's possible that there may be underlying medical issues, such as a hernia or infection, that could be contributing to your symptoms. In that case, you may need to undergo further testing or treatment to address those issues.

In terms of your cosmetic concerns, you could discuss alternative treatments with your doctor, such as a tummy tuck or other procedures that can help to improve the appearance of your belly. Additionally, you could consider working with a skilled aesthetician to explore non-surgical options for addressing your concerns, such as radiofrequency or ultrasound treatments.

Ultimately, the best course of action will depend on the specifics of your situation and your individual goals and preferences. It may be helpful to consult with a variety of experts and consider all of your options before making any decisions.


I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Dear nadkn,
In most mini tummy tuck procedures there are trade-offs between obtaining the tightest possible result and contouring and the extent of scarring. We are not privy to your preoperative physical appearance or discussions with your plastic surgeon, but it looks like you and/or your plastic surgeon were pushing the envelope a little too far. Your solution is likely a full tummy tuck at this point. Good luck!
