What are my options for removing the "muffin top" I have been left with after tummy tuck? 3 months post op but got a feeling I'm going to have to start saving for some kind of revision. Or will this eventually go down? I feel more like it's excess fat rather than swelling as it "flabby" not hard. 26 years old 6 foot It also seems to be worsening
Answer: What are my options for removing "muffin top" after tummy tuck? Hello @Dash687, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. It is important to take into account several aspects among which is the surgical technique applied, and to evaluate if there is something else at a systemic level. Remember that a tummy tuck or any surgery has a process for healing that can take to a year. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Timing It's too early to consider whether a revision is indicated. Final results are not seen for 9-12 months from surgery. At that time you can consider correction based on the underlying cause of concern. If it is subcutaneous fat you may have improvement with liposuction alone. If it is excess skin as well then a revision to your tummy tuck can be considered.

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear Dash687,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Post abdominoplasty issues You may require a revision procedure with either liposuction or more likely some skin excision. A physical exam would answer these questions.
