I had TT almost 8 months ago, I see many women much smaller above the belly button is puffier and I can still pinch skin especially when I sit. on may 29th I had revision lipo to my legs from Aug 2017 and paid to extend my TT incision. 3 months post-op and I can still pinch abdomen skin. I have a numbness feeling on my hips and they are bigger than before going in. I also think not much lipo was done .
Answer: Your results after a tummy tuck Everybody will always be able to pinch a certain amount of skin, especially of their lower abdomen, when they sit. So this is not a good indicator of your results. You should discuss the bellybutton with your plastic surgeon to see about the possibilities of a revision.

Answer: Early result after TT/lipo It is too early to comment on results, in particular very subtle one like yours. When you are sitting it is normal to have extra skin to pinch because no skin is so tight and elastic to contract that much. Without in person evaluation it would be hard to suggest whether more aggressive liposuction of upper abdomen and tights (legs?) would be possible. In any case, I would suggest waiting at least one year before new liposuction since severe fibrosis after liposuction may preclude further improvement. Loosing few pounds may be another (better) option. Good luck.

Answer: TT and lipo revision: do I need a revision? Thank you for the question and pictures. It is very unusual for an "ideal outcome" to be achieved. Whether or not you should undergo revisionary surgery will mainly depend on your level of concern with your outcome as well as a careful consideration of the potential risks/complications associated with additional surgery.

Answer: Talk to your surgeon! To start, everyone, and I mean everyone, can pinch some stomach skin when they sit down. You have to have enough skin for your body to move appropriately!! I would discuss your concerns with the surgeon that performed your tummy tuck, as I assume they want you to have as good of a result as possible! AN open and honest discussion and evaluation will help you and your surgeon agree on a plan.
