Help! 1 year post op and unhappy with bb scar and shape. What can be done to improve things?

Dear trickynikky77,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your question regarding what you can do to improve your tummy tuck results. By examining your photos, it looks like you have an excess fat issue (not an excess skin issue). This is a good thing, as this can likely be corrected with liposuction. I would recommend liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back (if you wish). You could also have your belly button revised during this procedure too. I'm sorry you are experiencing less than satisfactory results from your tummy tuck. I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Hello @trickynikky77, thank you for your question. It is important to look at what type of technique the surgeon used and whether he did muscle plication or not. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD.

You can consider an umbilicoplasty to improve the look of the belly button.  At one year post op you are a candidate for the procedure.  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
