Tummy tuck revision - would it give me a flatter stomach? (Photos)

Dear Independent0301,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Based off your photos - there are bilateral dog ears (sometimes left to help allow the tummy tuck incision to heal and close better in the middle. Dog ears are easy to correct in exchange for more scarring towards your back. For the anterior abdomen, I would recommend you try toning (Pilates) and losing more weight prior to any revision or redo, that way your abdomen can be flatter - whether its contouring liposuction that is done or a redo tummy tuck. Revisit your original surgeon to see if a revision can be done - likely they will offer at least a discount for their revision and seek out a few other opinions to see if you like another surgeon's work better. Hope this helps.

From the limited photos, your result appears nice but is still developing at 6 months. Follow up with your surgeon and present your observations and sentiments honestly. Body contouring procedures ALWAYS involve reconciliations. The greatest and wisest surgeons build into every procedure a plan for these mandatory trade-offs to accept choices they can improve and to avoid choices they cannot later improve. Your issues can likely be improved at the right time when result has matured and stabilized.

Based on your post photos, the style tummy tuck incision with the downward sloping of the lateral portion is a old technique. You need a dog revision with liposuction of the complete 360 in my opinion best of virtual consult with for better explanation expect fees to arrange from $4000-$8000
