PLEASE help - Do I need a revision from my endoscopic Tummy tuck? (photos)

Thank you for your pictures and questions. In body contouring surgery, selecting the procedure that is appropriate for the patient is the most important thing to consider. Most patients are not candidates for an endo procedure such as this and I think you would fall into that category. Choosing the wrong procedure results in wasted money and an unhappy patient and I am sorry about that. I would agree with the other PS on here that you likely need a mini tummy tuck with skin resection. Make sure you see a board certified (ABPS) plastic surgeon for a consultation.Best of luck!

An in-person evaluation is needed in order to offer specific advice, but it appears that you would benefit from a revision to tighten the abdominal wall further. This could probably be done with a mini tummy tuck, using a short scar placed low where it can be easily concealed. An umbilical float would be done in order to extend the repair into the upper abdomen.

Thank you for the question and photos. Unfortunately, the preop and postop photos look exactly the same, and this will not get better with time. You will need another surgery. In this type of patient like you, I prefer the EVE tummy tuck procedure. This is done through a small low pubic incision not longer than a C-section scar and you will need an umbilical float. I prefer a two layer muscle repair. You should wait for another 2-3 months prior to considering repair. This will allow the dissected tissues to heal, soften up and be workable. See your surgeon and discuss your concerns. Remember, doing the same procedure over again and expecting different results is unrealistic. Otherwise, seek a second in person opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques. Good luck.
