For whatever reason your incision is placed in current position, it seems to be higher than what we like to do in our practice. That questions should be addressed to your surgeon. It is my impression, based on your photos, that agressive liposuction of torso (abdomen, flanks, lower back) would create visible waist and significantly improve your overall result. Hope this helps. Good luck.
The placement of the incision in a tummy tuck depends on several factors, such as the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed and the patient's anatomy. In general, the incision is made low on the abdomen, above the pubic area, so that it can be concealed by underwear or a swimsuit.However, in some cases, the incision may need to be placed higher on the abdomen, especially if a significant amount of skin needs to be removed or if there are concerns about wound healing. A high incision can result in a longer scar, but it may be necessary to achieve the desired results.As for the waist, tummy tuck surgery can help to improve the appearance of the waistline by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles. However, the extent of improvement will depend on the individual's body type and the amount of tissue that can safely be removed during the procedure. It's also important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to help maintain the results of the surgery over time.It's best to consult with your plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns and to determine if any revisions can be made to your incision placement or if other treatments can help achieve the waistline you desire.Best of luck !
