Hi, I partook in a mommy makeover two years ago. After healing and consultation from a surgeon my left abdominal wall of my muscle repair was unsuccessful my stomach looks lopsided. Is there a way for me to tighten? as one surgeon informed me that I do not have enough skin to endure another tummy tuck. I dont know if you can tell from photos but when I am bloated the top part of my belly inflates and its uncomfortable. Please help

Answer: Is there a nonsurgical way to tighten an undone muscle repair? If your muscles are in fact still separated, it is unlikely you will be able to significantly tighten the muscle without additional surgery. This can be done without removing additional skin. It is difficult to weigh the anticipated benefits without an actual physical examination. Your photos do not suggest you have a major problem.

Answer: Addressing Asymmetry and Muscle Repair Revision after a Mommy Makeover I understand your concern about the asymmetry and discomfort you're experiencing after your mommy makeover. While there are nonsurgical treatments available to tighten skin and address some muscle laxity, such as radiofrequency treatments or ultrasound therapy, these treatments may not provide the same level of correction as surgical intervention.

Answer: Muscle repair You will want to first confirm that the fullness that concerns you is not related to visceral/internal fat. If it is then weight loss should improve it. If it is not the way to address your concerns is through surgical correction of the muscle wall. Further skin removal is not necessary, but the incision will need to be reopened in order to access the trouble area. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
