You can do a redo. In your opinion would smart lipo work better? I am 10 pounds from my pre baby body and this is my second procedure. The doctor didn't really listen to my the first time and he did a mini tummy tuck and a mini lipo repair but I'm still not pleased.

Answer: Redo body contour
If you had a mini tummy tuck and some lipo recently you probably need to wait about 6 months or so to have a revision. Of courser that depends upon how you heal and the extent of the previous surgery.

Answer: Timing of a Re-Do Liposuction
Photographs would have been very helpful. As I reads your question, you had a "mini lipo" and a "mini tummy tuck" because you used a ?surgeon who did not listen to you.
I suspect your procedures were done by a NON-Plastic surgeon. Pregnancy fundamentally and irreversibly changes a woman's abdominal anatomy. By permanently stretching the skin and underlying muscles and by splitting the 6 pack (rectus) muscles women gain the dreaded "Mommy Tummy" and "Muffin Top" look. Although some weight gain is also to be blamed the major reason is the LARGER abdominal cavity left by the baby(ies) which cannot be made smaller by exercise, lotions/potions, vitamins, massage, liposuction and ESPECIALLY by any procedures beginning with the term - "Mini". (As Plastic surgeons we were taught and quickly learned that if you want "Mini" Results, by all means perform / or have "Mini" procedures).
Without BEFORE nor AFTER pictures it is impossible to advise you but based on my experience I suspect you had ineffective procedures (easier to recover from / easier for an inexperienced Non-Plastic surgeon) instead of what would have been effective.
Rather than rushing in and making things worse I wopuld suggest you look up several local members of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and consult with them on what are your options and when to have your procedure.
Good Luck.
