I had a mini tummy tuck four months ago and I hate how my body looks. I do modeling and I feel my career is over now. I’m very depressed, my body looked almost the same but less saggy. I have a lot of fat left around my bra strap rolls. I’m very unhappy what should I do ??? Exercise? More lipo? Please help
Answer: Full tuck From the submitted photos it appears you were a better candidate for a standard tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. In order to improve your results a revision of a full tummy tuck is advised with muscle repair. Fat around the bra strap will not be addressed by a tummy tuck. Depending on the extent either liposuction or a bra line lift would be indicated. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: What could help my unfavorable results from mini tummy tuck with muscle repair? (photos) The mini TT can probably be converted to a short scar TT to remove additional skin. An exam would be necessary to confirm. Additional lipo can be performed in the areas you mentioned. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials (education, training, experience, American Board of Plastic Surgery certified) who performs hundreds of TTs and TT revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking; and read patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Tuck Although your photos are somewhat limited, you probably have excess skin around the back and could use a back lift as well. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: DrDerby Thank you for your question and the photos. You are a better candidate for a full tummy tuck instead of a mini. If you want the flat tight abdomen the full tummy tuck is always best, together with a lipo in all areas needed you will for sure be very happy. Best of luck
