I'm 13 month post tuck with muscle repair. I'm so unhappy with my results. I have hypertrophic scarring, a weird ledge above my scar and my stomach stinks out like I'm bloated when relaxed. I was expecting a flat stomach. Another surgeon recommended another full tuck to better my appearance. My original surgeon seems disappointed with my results as well but doesn't think I need lipo. I'm in the process of getting kenalog injections into the scar. I'm looking for honest thoughts on my outcome.

Answer: Redo tummy tuck Dear Dm, Thanks for posting your pictures, though seeing your before pictures would have been helpful too. Sorry for your less than optimal outcome. From observing your pictures you appear to have muscles laxity, "outy" belly button and high scar at lower abdomen. If your surgeon does not recommend redo tummy tuck at this stage, consider consultation with other experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures of redo tummy tuck in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with flat stomach, nice belly button, narrow waists, improved body posture and low scar. Check also the reviews for patients' good experience. Best of luck, Dr Widder
