I had a tummy tuck three years ago and I feel like there is still loose skin on the sides, dog ears and the vertical incision did not heal well. I am also not a huge fan of the belly button. Do I have enough skin especially near the vertical line? I also would like to liposuction my back but I am worried it will make my skin loose. Any other advice is welcome
Answer: A revision can be done to improve appearance along with a small amount of liposuction to achieve desired results. Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Tummy tuck revision Yes, I'd suggest liposuction 360, re-plicate the rectus muscles, and excise more skin. You would be able to remove the vertical scar

Answer: Revision From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for a revision. You should also have nice improvement by adding liposuction for further sculpting. An exam is needed to know for sure but you may be a candidate to add J Plasma to the liposuction procedure to address skin laxity.
