Dog ear revision, is this another dog ear?

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.

There is a bulge at the end of the scar, but it is only 10 days since your surgery, so I would hope that this is swelling and so should settle. It looks like you will have a nice result but give it at least 3 months before you make any final decisions.

Hi eagle eyes2911. I do not think you will have another dog ear. Wait a few months for the wound to heal, and then see your plastic surgeon if you are still concerned.

by definition the photos show fullness above and below your scar and not at the end so this not a dog ear but probably fat that would benefit from revision in the future - It could also just be swelling so be patient
