I am 6 months post extended TT with lipo. I am still not 100% happy with my results. I have a noticeable bulge and like pooling in lower belly. When I sit it hangs over. My surgery was drainless and compression was not used per my doctors orders. Should I be happy with results and give it a year to see if bulge goes away? Or should lipo fix it? Pics attached .

Answer: Continued Swelling Post Abdominoplasty From the pictures, it does appear that you have some retained swelling along the lower abdomen, scar area. Sometimes liposuction will help this. Other times you need to revise the central scar area surgically and remove some excess tissue. Usually you wait at least six months post surgery, although some surgeons recommend a year. I would address this with your surgeon and see what they recommend, but you should be able to make an improvement. I hope this helps.

Answer: After TT, will you need a touch up? Thanks for your questions and photos. Most of the healing after a tummy tuck is complete after six months. Some changes take longer. Based solely on your photos, it looks like liposuction or some skin removal might be a good idea. I would return to your plastic surgeon and express your concern.
