Abdomen lost shape after tummy tuck. Is there anything that can be done about it now?

July 12, 2022
Asked By:Gorgeous961732 in Saskatchewan, Canada

I had a lipoadminoplasty done with diastasis recti repair. Unfortunately I had a large area of fat necrosis and couldnt wear compression garments. 6 months later my stomach has lost all shape and the dr said it's because my fascia stretched out. Is there anything that can be done about it now? If i had worn the compression would that have helped? It's very disappointing esp considering the agony of the necrosis. I am 165 cm and weigh about 68 kg. Thank you.
