Creases/lumps - revision or tummy tuck? (photos)

Dear lcp85,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Everybody is going to form skin lines when they Flixster torso. If you had tight skin with a flexed tour so you wouldn’t be able to stand up straight.
All women develop some degree of abdominal skin laxity and muscle separation from term pregnancies though it affects some women far more than others.
Typically the treatment for pregnancy related changes as a full tummy tuck. Having children does not change your fat distribution.
Did you have a Bellafill injected on your abdomen?
To make a quality assessment we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have those then ask your provider to forward the ones your they took.
Is your provider an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon?
Consider having proper a second opinion consultations with other local board-certified plastic surgeons in your community. For a second opinion consultations patient should come well prepared bringing with them all before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are all available from your current doctors office since they are part of your medical record. Just called her office and asked for copies of your medical records specifically your operative report and all pictures taken.
If you want a tight flat abdomen then you’ll need a full tummy tuck.
In a standing position you robbed them and doesn’t look that bad. The truth is most plastic surgeons are not very good at doing liposuction.
Patience considering Liposuction should be extremely selective and interview numerous plastic surgeons before committing to having the procedure. Liposuction is permanent and irreversible. Correct and poorly done Liposuction is extremely difficult but often some improvements can be had. Considering that revision work is many times more difficult than primary liposuction and most plastic surgeons aren’t very good at even doing primary liposuction the need to find someone who is seriously talented in this procedure speaks for itself.
During consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for the area you’re interested in. An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before and after pictures of common procedures like abdominal liposuction. highly experienced surgeons will have hundreds or even thousands of before and after pictures of commonly performed procedures.
Being shown a handful of preselected pictures which most likely represent the best results of the providers career it is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. being board-certified and plastic surgery with an overall good reputation is insufficient to confirm someone has mastered liposuction.
Correct and poorly done Liposuction results is extremely difficult. Treatment options include revision liposuction(doing more liposuctio in an attempt to even out the area) fat transfer to restore areas were too much fat was removed or converting the procedure to a skin tightening operation like a full tummy tuck.
All of these options have major inherent limitations.
I suggest first and foremost following up with your provider to see what he or she has to say then start scheduling second opinion consultations if you’re interested in trying to correct or improve upon the outcome.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
