Revision TT Results Questionable, Will Results Improve With Time?

Anahis
1st TT w/ MR, no lipo, 5 yrs ago, at 51. PostTT belly protruded, went back to PS, he said MR had failed, need 2nd TT. I am 5’3, 135lb, no weight gain, no med conditions, non-smoker, active. could MR fail from dissolvable stitches? why reversal of the results? 2nd TT: MR of rectus and oblique, flank lipo, scar symetry/ height revision. 6 wks postop, belly protruding, waist not smaller, scar looks same, Wrinkle/dent/swelling on right. did I need skin tightening ? will this improve with time?
