Hi! I had my tummy tuck on 4/8/11. I am almost 7 months post op. Although I am very happy with my results, I am left with a dog ear on my right side which shows when I wear my bathing suit. My doctor told me he would like to fix it in the spring, which would bring me to almost a year post op. My question is, how long do most of you wait until you perform a dog ear revision? Thank you for your answers!

Answer: Dog Ears Hello, Thank you for your question. Correcting dog ears can be done after the majority of swelling has gone down (Usually after 3 months). It can be done under local anesthesia, usually there are no drains after the procedure and most Plastic surgeons will place internal sutures rather than external. It can be combined with mild liposuction in the area to debulk the surrounding tissue also.Hope this helps, Dr. Dillon
