I had an extended tummy tuck 6 months ago and I was never completely flat after. I had that squareish boxy look. I recently went back and got lipo 360 approximately 1 week ago and still not flat. Still not seeing contouring and flatness. At this stage, is it still a waiting game up to a year’s time or are these somewhat the final results I should expect even after swelling goes down after lipo procedure? I’m getting worried that I’ve paid $20,000+ for a manly outcome. Stats-5’4, 165 lbs

Answer: Your tummy tuck result Although you do have swelling, it is a small component of issue, and most will resolve in another 6 months or so. The real problem is not the execution of the surgery either, it is the presence of fat in the intra-abdominal space where your organs live. This fat can only be reduced by weight loss, and when this happens you will be happier with your result

Answer: Boxy tummy tuck 6 months after surgery. Are these the final results? I cannot speak specifically to you as I don't know what you looked like before. What I can say is that some of us have a more boxy less curvy body type. Many women do not have a small waist and wider hips. This is called an "apple" body type. It can be genetic. We can have a predisposition to weight gain more in the middle than our butt/hips/legs. At 5'4" 165lbs you are carrying 30-40 extra pounds of fat. This fat may be intra-abdominal and cannot be removed with liposuction. Have you considered weight loss? Semiglutide weight loss shots are very popular right now if you need help getting some of that weight off. I think you contouring could be helped with a plug in you belly button to make it less of a slit and consider KT tape at the midline to pull that skin apart or laterally.
