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

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.

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

Best Wishes,

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.

Thank you for your questions and pictures. Did you lose more weight after your TT? If so this could explain the extra and uneven skin. Otherwise, sometimes skin has lost elasticity and as a result as swelling subsides there can be these cases of loose skin. In your case, there are definitely surgical options to remove more skin and improve the contour and skin tone. Be sure to see a Board Certified PS for an in person consultation to obtain the best results for your revisional or secondary Tummy tuck.

Hi, thanks for your question and photo. I'm sorry to hear that your TT was a failure. You can have a revision and get the results you want. Consult an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a physical exam. Good luck!

For a tighter abdomen, you may need more scarring to remove more excess skin. Otherwise, you could consider minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion which can be done with your exisiting scars.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've had since your tummy tuck. From the posted photos it appears the best option would be a revision. This would remove the excess skin that concerns you as well as a revision of your scar. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. Be sure to discuss your concerns as well as your goals.
