Answer: Dog ears one year after tummy tuck Thank you for your query. The little “mini pouches” at the two ends of the scar are small dog ears and can be easily corrected by your surgeon, if you wish. The procedure is minor and is done in the office under local anesthesia. Please discuss this with your surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Dog ears An in person evaluation is best but from the photo it does appear those are dog ears. You may want to contact your surgeon. They can often be addressed in the office surgical suite under local anesthesia. they will not resolve with weight loss.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, those are excess tissue at the lateral aspect of your scar (dog ears). Your surgeon should easily be able to fix that under local anesthesia. I would believe that almost every good surgeon would not charge you at all to do this on their own patient and you should definitely discuss this with your surgeon.
