Answer: Needs time It is important to be patient and give your body time to heal fully. It can take up to a year for the final results of a procedure to become apparent, and it is not uncommon for some residual swelling to persist during this time.

Answer: Tummy tuck results At 6 months post op swelling should be resolved and the garment no longer necessary. An in person evaluation is always best, but it appears from your photos that the contours that concern you may be a result of visceral fat which is the internal fat around your organs. This is addressed through weight loss. Your surgeon should be able to direct your further after an exam.

Answer: Concern after abdominoplasty Hello and thank you for posting your photos. As a surgeon who does a tremendous amount of abdominoplasty surgery and liposuction I would tell you that your result is standard. I do not see anything that is out of the ordinary. Many times there is excess roundness to the abdomen due to what is called visceral fat. I would recommend that you calculate your body mass index and it if it is anywhere above 22 you are carrying excess visceral fat which is causing bulging to your abdomen. There are also gastrointestinal issues that arise as we all age and it would be smart to visit your gastroenterologist. I would first encourage weight loss. You could add liposuction to the entire anterior abdomen, flanks and back to enhance your results further. That would be the best way to obtain further body contouring. Happy to help!
