Age 35. I have had a tummy tuck. I am at the 2.5 weeks of recovery stage. I noticed the difference in both side's curves. The left side is still numb and stiff where less curve. The right side looks more hollow. I am not sure if is there any solution to fix this uneven curves.
Answer: Curves You need to post your before photos, because your uneven curves may have always been present due to your back. Most people are not completely even, but notice more unevenness when excess fat and skin are removed. Correcting an uneven back is bigtime surgery that most do not want. if you have some residual fat, it can be treated with liposuction. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. This unevenness may just be you and unable to be addressed.

Answer: Body symmetry All people have significant body asymmetry. Most people have one side that’s different than the other. To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see proper before and after pictures. You will most likely see a symmetry on your before pictures as well.It looks like you had some liposuction in conjunction with the procedure that wasn’t necessarily blended so well. Your back looks like it’s untreated while your waist had liposuction. I think the asymmetry you’re seeing in the pictures is more related to your musculoskeletal structure than irregularity in surgical technique. A tummy tuck is not going to address body asymmetry. If you don’t have proper before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the pictures they took. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
