Hello, I've noticed that on a lot of tummy tucks it seems that the belly is undefined and even after over a year of healing, it seems almost like an up and down-boxy shape. Even though I am a larger size, I would like to keep at least a slight hourglass shape I have now, after my tummy tuck. Are there ways to avoid this boxy shape or to combat the loss of an hourglass or another procedure to bring the hourglass shape back after a tummy tuck? look at Pics for examples.
