Unhappy about small fat pocket after abdominoplasty - how can I fix this? (photos)

August 31, 2022
Asked By:stellasMum in Mentor, Ohio

I had an abdominoplasty about 3+ years ago. I was never happy with the way one side of my stomach looked after the procedure. I have a small fat pocket and i am very unhappy with this. It makes me extremely self conscious. I am not sure what exactly can be done to fix this. I was very small to begin with and mainly had the surgery due to an umbilical hernia following pregnancy. I love my doctor, he is wonderful but he doesn't seem to understand how much this bothers me.
