Can I just get dog ear removal done or do I need a full revision? (Photos)

February 9, 2024
Asked By:mrs.britt in San Jose, California

I had a tummy tuck early 2023. I was told by the surgeon that I would need an extended tummy tuck to be truly satisfied but I was taking part in a post operative pain management study so the standard tummy tuck with muscle repair was 100% free.I talked to the surgeon about getting the dog ears removed after. I moved and honestly was happy with the before & after. Now I’m looking into dog ear removal, can I get just that done? What is the cost range? Do I need a full revision?
