On Feb 1, 2022 I had a tummy tuck with flank lipo. Within the last month I look like I have a beer belly. It all pouches out. From under my boobs to the TT scar. Do I need a revision?

Answer: Bulging abdomen after tummy tuck You have excess visceral fat that’s causing your abdomen to bulge despite muscle tightening. Further muscle tightening will not improve your results. What you need to do is lose weight. Weight loss will improve your results. Make note of your current weight and continue measuring progress by comparing pictures as you successfully lose weight. Even five or 10 pounds will probably have a fairly substantial impact. Compare your current weight to your preprocedure weight. Your weight should be a couple of pounds less than when you had your procedure or you’ve gained weight. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
