Does my mini-tummy tuck look like it needs a revision? (Photos)

An in person evaluation or further photos are needed to know for sure, but it appears you may have improvement with further surgery. Many times patients elect a mini tummy tuck when a standard tummy tuck is really needed. If this is the case for you, you may be a candidate to convert it to get improved results.

Mini tummy tucks are often dissappointing. If you want to get a flatter tummy you could convert it into a full tummy tuck but it will leave a longer scar

Dear flutterby73,
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.

For a tighter abdomen, you actually need the full tummy tuck. However, you will always have some excess skin when you bend.

Based on your pictures, the skin has not been tightened enough. That is the reason for laxity and wrinkling you see.You would likely benefit from a high definition tummy tuck using high definition VASER liposuction. The tummy tuck procedure would comprehensively remove excess skin and fat in the abdominal region. The abdominal muscle would also be 'tightened' to create the appearance of a flatter stomach. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a tummy tuck specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
