Answer: Tummy tuck after liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. I have performed tummy tucks in patients for this exact reason and it can help significantly. It is important to determine if you have enough laxity in your abdomen for a tummy tuck. The only way to determine this is with an in-person examination. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Tummytuck After Liposuction Complications Creamy77 Sorry you are having these issues and physical examination would be needed to provide a more comprehensive answer and recommendation. However, it appears that most of the contour irregularities can be greatly improved and even eliminated with a tummy tuck, assuming there is enough redundant skin after your pregnancy. I am not a big fan of abdominal etching specifically because of complications similar to yours, significant skin irregularities and dimpling from thickened scar tissue just beneath the skin. Also, it appears that you have little excess fat of the abdominal region and etching would not be advised.When you are ready, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to discuss the best options for you. Good luck.
