Answer: Revision abdominoplasty Abdominoplasties after extensive weight loss are notorious for problem like yours; extended skin excision, poor elasticity, stretched and weak abdominal wall, are contributing to residual deformity like yours. Further excision of vertical skin folds and additional horizontal skin excision are needed for better result. You should discuss these issues with your surgeon or request a second opinion consultation. Good luck.

Answer: Persistent abdominal laxity and fullness Your issue is twofold. First, an insufficient about of skin and fat was removed in your prior surgery. You would benefit from circumferential liposuction and re-advancement of the skin to at least as far as your scar. Second, you will also need a vertical excision of skin due to circumferential skin excess that cannot be removed by your extended tuck. This means a vertical scar that traverses your abdomen, creating a scar pattern known as a 'fleur de lys'. This combination of procedures, performed in a single surgery, will leave you thinner and tight.
