What happened to my tummy tuck? 5 years post-op (Photo)

It appears from your photo that the appearance of your abdomen is either related to visceral fat or weakened abdominal wall. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. Bring along your CT scan results if available. If the cause is visceral fat it can be addressed through weight loss. If it is due to a weakened abdominal wall surgical correction would be necessary.

Hello @disney123 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. A liposculture fixes the fat that you have at the skin level. However, if there is abdominal diastasis and excess skin the only way to improve is with a lipectomy with abdominal plicature. For more information and recommendations it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear disney123,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
