When I wake up I am flat first thing in the morning , picture 1 shows me after half the day of moving around and picture 4 is with me moving around all day including a 3 hour work out at the gym . Will this go away with time ? Or do you think a revision is necessary because not enough skin was removed . I am 5 feet 11 inches and weigh 215. Thank you . I will be 8 weeks post opt from tummy tuck and muscle repair on 7/27/15 . Will exercise fix this ?

Answer: Is this just extra skin where the doctor didn't remove enough skin during my tummy tuck with muscle repair? Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck procedure. At eight weeks post, you have yet to see the final outcome of the procedure performed. Online consultants will not be able to predict how much further change there will be; however, generally speaking, patients do continue to experience improvement in the outcome of tummy tuck surgery for the first year after the procedure was performed. I would suggest continued efforts with careful diet and exercise; re evaluation one year postoperatively. Best wishes.

Answer: Is this just extra skin where the doctor didn't remove enough skin during my tummy tuck with muscle repair? From your photos, its appears that you are still having issues with swelling, especially after working out. Much of this should improve over the next several months. Be sure to continue with a good diet and exercise program, concentrating on abdominal muscle toning. Keep in touch with your surgeon, but I agree with Dr Pousti, I wouldn't suggest any further surgery for about a year. You may be surprised what you can continue to accomplish with your exercise program. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
