Answer: Can you get a tummy tuck twice? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your description and photographs, you do not need to have another tummy tuck performed but will likely benefit from revisionary surgery. In your case, scar revision, excision of the "dog ear", plus/minus additional liposuction surgery may be helpful. Communicate your concerns/goals directly with your plastic surgeon. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve an outcome you are happier with.

Answer: Revision tummy tuck? ANSWER: IT DEPENDS. IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A TUMMY TUCK REDONEWHEN THERE IS STILL EXCESS SKIN. OTHERWISE PROCEDURES MAY BE LIMITED TO SCAR REVISIONS. IF THERE IS A BULGE THAT REPRESENTS RESIDUAL FAT, THEN LIPOSUCTION MAY BE BENEFICIAL.
