It's been over a year since I had lipo that left my stomach looking uneven. I'm wondering if a reverse tummy tuck hiding the scars under my breasts is a good solution and will it smooth most everything out or will some fat grafting also be likely?
Answer: TT 1 year Post op: Lipo/fat grafts? Hello, thank you for your question. It does not appear that you have loose skin to perform any type of TT. I recommend you see your plastic surgeon to be evaluated and to discuss your concerns and desires. Your PS may determine you need lipo to remove some fat and then some fat grafting to smooth indented areas. See what your PS recommends and best wishes to you!#TT #lipo #fatgraft

Answer: Reverse tummy tuck not recommended I don’t recommend a "reverse tummy tuck” because you don’t appear to have any sagging skin that could be removed. I think first, your surgeon should assess your stomach contour to determine what’s causing the lumps and bumps. If it’s pockets of fat, liposuction can be performed to smooth them down. Fat grafting is also an option to raise any depressed areas.

Answer: Reverse Abdominoplasty not advisable Hi. A reverse TT will not fix your problem and the scar is much worse than a traditional TT. Your skin laxity does not look bad enogh to warrant a TT. My advice would be to have fat grafting and a small amount of liposuction to smooth the lumps and bumps. Regards

Answer: Will a reverse Tummy tuck smooth stomach after bad Lipo? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. A reverse TT involves a rather large incision along the lower portion of both your breasts and breastbone and is normally reserved for patients that have undergone massive weight loss (>100lbs) and have excess skin and adipose tissue in their upper abdomen. Most of your issues are limited to the lower abdomen, therefore a traditional TT would be a better option. That said you do not appear to have much, if any skin excess, which would make a TT difficult to perform. Depending on an in-person examination, you may need either conservative liposuction to try and improve the undulations, or fat grafting into the deeper regions, to help smooth the contours.

Answer: Surgery Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information with pictures as well... A tummy tuck is the surgical procedure in which excess skin is removed, and the weakened muscles of the abdominal wall are strengthened. Other defects can also be corrected, such as decreasing excess fat and eliminating scars and stretch marks below the navel caused by pregnancy, aging, and massive weight loss among other factors. If you want to get rid of your extra skin or smooth your stomach, this procedure will help you with liposuction on your waist and muscle repair..
