I’ve been having some issues since about 6MPO. The “bulge” on the right side just above the incision and what seems like saggy skin above the belly button that I didn’t have before.around 3-4MPO I was very flat even with the swelling. Now I am just not happy and I have a healthy active lifestyle so it is very frustrating. Thoughts?

Answer: Good news bad news Bad news: your surgeon placed your incision too high and know you have 'too much skin'. Good news: a relatively small surgery can correct both problems (skin excess and high scar). In essence, it's a mini-tummy tuck.

Answer: Did my surgeon not take enough skin? Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, your problem is more than skin only issue. What I see is a very high abdominoplasty scar, scarred belly button, no abdominal wall contouring. If you were my patient, I would completely redo your surgery with further muscle tightening, lowering your scar to the pubic bone level, VASER liposuction to define waist, hips, semilunar lines and epigastric midline to create a youthful and athletic abdomen. These surgeries I do in our certified in office operating suite under deep intravenous sedation. See a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
