Will a second revision help? (Photo)

Question

Had a TT 15 yrs ago, 2" higher on one side, dog ears which the surgeon had no idea" what they were" & told me to lose weight. (Id lost 10 lbs since surgery 6 wks earlier.) Had revision; it was less tilted but still off, dog ears less pronounced. But even while I was in the original compression garment, I could see that my abdomen was now shaped differently, like a pair of parentheses instead of my natural hourglass. This remains to this day. Can a revision help?

Dear Cyndy,
   Please resubmit your before and after  pictures. After performing over 1500 tummy tuck surgeries I can definitely help you , but  It is impossible to give you an intelligent answer without seeing the specific issues that bother you.
             Enjoy the weekend,

You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific. Residual dog ears can easily be removed in the office under local anesthesia.

A revision could potentially help address your concerns.  It may be that only liposuction is needed to give you more of the hourglass contour you are wanting.  Often times dog ears can be handled in the office surgical suite under local anesthesia.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
