Had a monsplasty and panniculectomy 7 months ago. I'm very unhappy with my results. Seeking advice on a revision please (photos)

Question

Most important question is about the size of my monspubic area. This was my main reason and desire for surgery because of the hanging. It looks the same as before. It's even lopsided now. My surgeon says there's no fluid in it. So this is how it will always look and feel? It's painful and annoying. What can be done about this? Also, my belly button is not centered nor is it round. Lastly, there's a point in my skin on my side where she stitched me up at the end. Would a revision help me?

I see your concerns. You need work on your mons. Typically we do not do address the mons at the time of panniculectomy.  You have many options for the mons at this time including liposuction and elevation. Centering the umbilicus is a larger challenge may require another incision around your umbilicus. Genuinely wait three months or longer after your panniculectomy. I wish you well

Andrew T. Cohen, MD, FACS · Answer

You are a good candidate for liposuction of your mons.  I do this with every tummy tuck when it is required. It does not appear to me that your mons was liposuctioned with your surgery.  Revision of your belly button and the point on the side can be done as well. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon.
