Dr wants me to lose 8-10 lbs. after tummy tuck, will that help my tummy become smaller? Or do I need a revision? (Photos)

Asked By:Lise L in Oslo, Norway

I am 29 years old, 8 months post op from full tummy tuck, with muscle repair and lipo. I am feeling as if my tummy is still big and wondering if that’s because too little fat is removed? I gained some weight about 8lbs but working on losing it. Dr wants me to lose 8-10 lbs. will that help my tummy become smaller? Or do I need a revision or more lipo?
