Is it possible to revise a tummy tuck in stages?

AlwaysresearchingAug 15, 2024

I had a tummy tuck that left me with a vertical scar and stretch marks. Is it possible to slowly work on pulling skin down over time to remove more skin?

It looks to me like you would benefit from liposuction. An exam will be necessary, but your skin appears to have good elasticity, your muscles (presumably) have already been repaired. This would leave the subcuticular fat which when thinned, can make a dramatic difference. Thank you.
