Uneven scar, loose skin and asymmetry after tummy tuck. What are my options? (Photo)

Asked By:Desperate86 in Muju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea
Dear Dr. I had a tummy tuck revision in June after an unsatisfactory one in Korea in 2021. Unfortunately, I'm seeing the same issues: an uneven scar, with one side higher, and loose skin above the belly button that worsens when I bend or sit. Despite being told to wait, I'm very concerned that this revision may have been botched. I would greatly appreciate your second opinion on the matter. Thank you.
