Had full TT with ab repair 5 mo. ago. While I appreciate that some tightness was achieved via removal of exc. skin & fat, I feel that the mark was totally missed in terms of flatness. I feel reluctant to let my orig. PS revise this, as he didn’t deliver the first time around; don’t want to be “fooled twice”. My feeling is that the ab repair & umbilical hernia wasn’t fully addressed. Who has vast experience in this area and can help me reach my goal? Thank you.
