Dog ear revision, is this another dog ear?

Question

I had a TT done 12 years ago and was left with two dog ears. I had dog ear revision done 10 days ago and was wondering if this is going to be another dog ear or excess fat that needs lipo to flatten? Thank you

10 days is early after surgery, and swelling will be playing a role.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Ten days out is way too soon to evaluate the results of this correction.  That being said everything looks good so far.

Healing After AbdominoplastyAs below,  there is some swelling and maybe a need for minor lipo in the future.Let things heal for a while.

At ten days it is too early to say. This may all be swelling and resolve without requiring attention. Allow several months, then reevaluate. Best wishes.

Even at 10 days I see excess skin/fat. Wait a full 2 months than have more excision done. Best to discuss with your surgeon.
