I had a tummy tuck with liposuction of flanks. I’m noticing that the flanks are still somewhat there, but it looks even more noticeable when I lay down. Is this botched?
Answer: Not botched!! No, the procedure it’s perform in the proper way, but it looks that you have a Bariatric surgery, so you lose a lot of weight, and the proper way to manage the extra skin it’s with a 360 tummy tuck, and you have just extended, you will need to complete the 369 tummy tuck, to remove the extra skin in the sides

Answer: Flanks You are not botched. You do have some excess fat in the hip, not flank, area that might be addressed once healed. However, you are early in the process so be patient.

Answer: Would suggest that you visit your plastic surgeon for complete assessment Hi! I understand your concern, however, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to identify the issue. Would suggest that you visit your plastic surgeon for complete assessment or take a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, your surgeon would give you proper advice and recommendation.

Answer: Liposuction From your photos it appears you have a nice result. Depending if all swelling has resolved you may have some excess skin sometimes called "dog ears" at the hip area. This would involve minimal skin excision to correct. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns.
