It's been almost 8 yrs since my tummy tuck. I'm curious if I have dog ears. I can't tell, i just know I hate those bulges. I don't know if it's just fat since Ive gained a little weight lol or if it's dog ears. I am thinking of having lipo if at all possible. Thank you!

Answer: Dog Ears? No "dog ears," those bulges are fat and should respond well to liposuction and weight loss. Dog ears are easily corrected , and an expected consequence of well done tummy tuck in many circumstances.

Answer: Are these dog ears? From your photos the bulges that concern you appear to excess fat. Dog ears are typically excess skin with a little fat. An in person exam is recommended but it appears you will have improvement from some liposuction to give you an improved contour. We invite you to visit us in our Houston office for a consultation to learn more. Feel free to visit my website and review before/after photos!

Answer: Do I have dog ears? Your photos suggest the fullness you are seeing is primarily excess fat, rather that the extra skin commonly found in "dog ears." If this is confirmed, then the fullness could be reduced through liposuction of the area. It is possible that liposuction alone could then lead to skin excess requiring resection. I would suggest a return visit to your surgeon for a proper evaluation and discussion of treatment options.
