I traveled to CA to have surgery in “upscale” Beverly Hills. It has been almost 8 months post op for my TT and I am a bit devastated. I still have a bit of loose skin, belly is lumpy and uneven, etc. Moreover, I mentioned this to my surgical team and they said “I look great.” It’s making me so depressed I’ve been isolating myself. I feel used and unheard. This was a one in a lifetime thing for me. Can anyone suggest what to do and what you’re able to access through the photos? SO APPRECIATED

Answer: Tummy tuck gone wrong. Can anyone suggestion what to do?
You have a very nice result. "Dog ear" revision is very simple and includes extension of the scar laterally by a 2-3 inches which will not be visible and not a big deal. It can be done under local, and cost depends. If you go to the original surgeon, they will likely not charge you a surgeon's...
Dear Straightforward1695,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Further evaluation is needed but it does appear a revision would be helpful. You may only need some localized liposuction, or more may be needed. Visit with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and learn more about your options. Revisions are not typically done until 9-12 months after surgery.
