I am 10 months post op. I am 5’5, approximately 168 pounds. I was 171 the day of surgery. I am working out but have definitely hit that age where it’s not as easy to lose weight. I was 43 at the time of the procedure. I am wondering if I need a revision. I still have a lower belly pooch and the left side of my abdomen is larger than the right. I discussed the size difference with my surgeon when I first noticed it but he said that it was nothing. It’s not aesthetically pleasing.
Answer: Protruding abdomen The main problem of your abdomen, because of your genetics, is that after surgery you hpave gained a lot of visceral fat and having in mind our muscle and fascia is literally a steak, the muscle repair will not prevent the protruding appearance because the muscle overstretched again.

Answer: Abdominal contours An in person evaluation is always best, but from the photos it appears the culprit for your abdominal contour is visceral fat. This is fat around the organs that cannot be improved with a tummy tuck or liposuction. Weight loss, though challenging, is the way to improve your concern.
