I had body tite done by an inexperienced new surgeon which left my stomach botched. I wanted it repaired and was trying to avoid a TT so I went to a Beverly Hills surgeon for fat grafting. I was mostly happy w the results but now I’m noticing some dimpling coming back.At this point i thk it’s time to consider a TT. Will the irregularities go away with a TT? With all the scarring I have from the laser and fat grafting, is it possible for them to pull my skin straight?
Answer: Tummy tuck after botched liposuction? (Photos) Thank you for your question regarding if you should get a tummy tuck after botched liposuction. In my opinion, you have skin irregularities. The skin irregularities were caused by the previous surgeries. If you have skinny regularity, the best procedure for you would be a tummy tuck. The longer the incision the better the results to correct for skin irregularities. The tissue dissection will be done to the sternum and the skin would be redraped. I believe most of the irregularities can be corrected with a tummy tuck. Any subsequent irregularities may need to be corrected with further fat grafting but I firmly believe the majority of your skin irregularities left over from body tight and the fat grafting could be corrected with the tummy tuck. Thank you for your question regarding how to fix a botched tummy after body tight and fat grafting. I hope this answer helps. Good luck. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Abdomen I think you should see good improvement with a tummy tuck to tighten your muscles and remove excess skin. Once healed, however, you may need more fat grafting in certain areas.

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh A tummy tuck will help increase the deformities of your skin tone and is the only procedure that is able to do so. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hi, thank you for sharing your question. In order to give you the best result with optimal smoothness to your skin, a tummy tuck would be needed. The scar tissue from your prior surgeries will make this challenging.
