My first TT procedure was failure; how can I fix it? (Photo)

Question

I'm a 33 yr old male. I had my first TT procedure in June of 2019. Have been unhappy with it ever since. Abdomen is uneven: more skin/fat on left side than right. Too much skin and fat was left in abdomen. Scar is awful (hate it). Have fat/skin laxity on entire lower torso (sides/back) that also bothers me. My desire is to have a tight torso, to bring out the muscular V-Shape (trim torso and broad shoulders). I have a muscular build already. Want taut/tight skin in torso. I'm healthy.

Hello, you need a check-up, you have to lower the scar since it was very high, you also have plenty of skin in a circular way so you need a 360 tummy tuck, the good thing is that because of the excess skin they left it is possible to lower the scar

Thank you for sharing your concerns and pictures about your tummy tuck outcome. Given your goal of a defined, V-shaped torso and muscular appearance, I recommend VASER high-definition liposuction. This technique can sculpt your abdomen, achieve that desired six-pack look, and emphasize a V-shape by contouring the hip area. While another tummy tuck might not offer significant improvements, VASER can not only define but also help in tightening any residual loose skin. It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in high-definition body contouring. Best wishes on your journey to the physique you desire.

I’m sorry to see that you are not happy with your results. I recommend getting vaser liposuction of the back, flanks, and abdomen, with repeat Abdominoplasty. Vaser liposuction actually uses heat and ultrasound technology to melt fat and stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin in the liposuctioned areas, that’s why it is recommended over traditional lipo. If you would like to be seen for a consultation, feel free to reach out to my office. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455

You will need a repeat tummy tuck.  This will remove additional skin as you have shown in your photographs.

Depending on your genetics, quality of tissues, muscle and bone underlying structure, people develop different vectors of excess of skin after losing significant amount of weight. 
It seems you had removed the excess of length on your mid central area of the abdomen and you have remaining excess of width (the skin pinching towards the midline) and also excess of saggy skin above buttocks. So that will be fixed re-doing the Tummy Tuck area, lower the position of your current incision, re-do belly button, perform a Fleur de Lis (vertical incision to remove the excess of width) and complete the circumferential Tummy Tuck (360 incision) to remove the excess above buttocks. 
Be encouraged!!! Look for an expert in After Weight Loss surgery.
