Answer: Tummy Tuck Revision
It appears from your photos that you had an inadequate abdominoplasty performed. Although it is normal for you to have some folding while sitting, your standing pictures reveal significant laxity of skin. It appears to me that you need a revision. Please wait 6 months after your operation and find a qualified board certified plastic surgeon to perform the revision for you. Because you have a vertical scar the revision should be fairly straight forward and should give you a nice result.
Best wishes.

Answer: Looseness after tummy tuck
I am surprised to see that much loose skin only 4 months after a full tummy tuck. Sometimes a revision can be done only removing a wedge of skin above the tummy tuck scar and in other cases, a more involved procedure may need to be performed. It also,depends on how much looseness of ski. Is inferior to the scar. In either case, you can certainly stand to have a good amount of skin removed.The recovery from a revision should be much easier than the first procedure, especially since the muscle repair would probably not need to be redone.
