My doctor assures me that my stomach will get flat. I am unhappy with results. 3 of the pictures are showing me doing a plank position, I feel like I still have fat and loose skin. I am trying my hardest to avoid tummy tuck. Do not need my muscles tightened.I workout. I would rather to it the old fashioned way. Sit-ups! And trying to avoid large scar. What should I do at this point? All advice is appreciated.
Answer: Is this edema/swelling or still fat/loose skin? Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. A personal examination is needed to determine what your bulge is. Please schedule a follow up appointment with your surgeon. If not possible, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery borntojump777 I appreciate your concern, however it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve after liposuction. In the meantime, a solid diet and exercise program will certainly help maintain your results and probably improve them. After 6 months passes, you can assess the possible need for Tummytuck. The effectiveness of J plasma and skin contraction varies significantly. Discuss your concerns with you Plasticsurgery. Good luck.

Answer: Loose skin v swelling Dear borntojump777Thank you for your question. We have just added J Plasma to our practice and while I do not have a lot of experience with it yet, the skin tightening is progressive over the first 6 months or so. That said your photos do indicate that you do have some moderate skin excess. You are at 3 mos post-op; I would give it at least 6 months. You should bring your concerns to your surgeon, but be patient. Hope this helps 7 good luck.James Sheridan, MD
