How can this be fixed to have a smooth outline from my surgery? What would you recommend? I'm 7 months post surgery.
Answer: Redo tummy tuck Dear Goldenat, Thanks for posting your picture and sorry for your unfortunate outcome. From observing your picture , it is obvious that you had complication after your tummy tuck surgery that resulted in skin loss , long healing and deformity of the skin flap. To improve on your condition , you will have to redo the tummy tuck, in order to re drape the skin flap in a more symmetrical and even fashion. From the apparent skin diffuse irregularities , it appears that you had liposuction surgery either before the tummy tuck surgery or during the tummy tuck surgery. These irregularities can be corrected later on with aggressive liposuction. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures of redo tummy tuck in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with flat stomach, nice belly button, narrower waists, improved body posture and low scar. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear Goldenat57, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from scar revision. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Candidate for abdominoplasty revision? Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photo, it appears that you had an area of delayed healing following your abdominoplasty which is presently healing satisfactorily. It takes a year for the swelling and hypervascularity of healing to subside. At that time, one would consider a scar revision to flatten the area and improve the appearance of the scar. Continue followup with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes...
