Had a tummy tuck 7 months ago. Had 4 different consultations with different surgeons. All keep saying my best option was tummy tuck with no Lipo. I never got a clear answer through any of them why couldn’t have Lipo. Now the tummy tuck is done I’m still not happy with my outcome of my shape. I wanted waist snatched, fat removed from lower side area etc, what do I need to ask for to get those kind of results. Lipo 360 maybe ?

Excess skin at the hip areas after a tummy tuck are referred to sometime as "dog ears". They can usually be addressed as a minor procedure done under local anesthesia in an office surgical suite. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns and discuss your options.
Thank you for your question.
There is generally no way to check if your rectus muscles were tightened just visually. You can certainly ask for the operative report which will mention if the rectus muscles were repaired. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to voice your concerns.

Based on your photos, it appears that you do not have enough loose skin in order to revise your abdominoplasty. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
