44yr mom of 3. Had weight loss surgery in 2015 highest weight 365, maintaining 215-210 for several years. Had consultation wanted Fleur de Lis but PS said no, said I would be happier with regular abdominoplasty and muscle repair results. 7mon PO. ln recovery he told husband I would need revision? I had partial hysterectomy at same time and he blames excess skin on that procedure at my one week FU appt. He has seen me 1X after surgery. He said 6lb skin removed, lower abdomen only. Ask for refund?

Answer: Return of redundant tissue is not unusual As a part of excess weight, skin is stretched, and loses elasticity. Immediately after a body lift, the skin is tight, and contour is much improved. However, a year after the procedure patients note return of skin laxity. Often this is addressed during secondary procedures such as breast lift, brachioplasty, thigh lift, etc. However, a realistic view of the nature of the skin is important. It may be impossible to obtain pre obesity skin tone and body shape, no matter how skilled the surgeon. You overall have a good result. I would suggest approaching the surgeon for touch up work.

Answer: SECOND OPINION!!! Hello! I can see a slight change, you should try to have your surgeon see you again and discuss a second surgery to achieve better results, a refund is not certain to be given to you, due to the expenses of surgery, anesthesia, and so on... but maybe an adjustment in the price of your next surgery.
