I’m 4 months post op from fdl tummy tuck, is this normal looking? Should i ask for a revision or is this normal after 120 weight loss?
Answer: Abdomen I do not see the vertical scar in your photo, so I don't think you had a FDL tuck but more like and extended tuck. If the vertical component was added, more skin could be removed. With such weight loss, the vertical component or back surgery is needed to removed excess skin. It is difficult to remove all the excess skin with just the lower incision. Congratulations on your weight loss! Go back and talk to your surgeon.

Answer: Revision TT? Looks like recurrent laxity and you would benefit from another similar procedure. If you lost 120 pounds after the tummy tuck, recurrent laxity could happen as such . . . I would recommend a revision Fleur-De-Lis, but since your muscles are already tight, you can have liposuction of the abdomen to maximize thinning of the abdominal skin flap with the skin removal. All done under local tumescent anesthesia with an oral cocktail of pills, no drains and very reasonable downtime. Thank you.

Answer: Is this normal? Congratulations on your major weight loss! Is the submitted photo from before your surgery? It appears you are a good candidate for an FDL tummy tuck to address excess skin and fat. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.
