Aged Tummy Tuck Gives Up? Do I need another tuck? (photos)

Thank you for providing photos. You abdominal aesthetics are holding up very well but after 15 years or so, our bodies change. Our skin loses laxity and simply changes with time. I would encourage consulting with a plastic surgeon to see your options. As your upper abdomen is doing well, you may consider a lower revision.

A couple things I see here to keep in mind. In the photo where you are sitting or standing, we see a bit of extra skin hanging out. This usually means that you can get a nice benefit by removing a bit more skin at the bottom (like a mini TT). After a long period of time, a good tummy tuck can still age and stretch because the person is still human and aging. Also, we do see that fat cells can't come back but you can still gain weight after surgery because you are human, and the weight has to go somewhere. It is HARDER for it to come back to an area that was liposuctioned or removed but it does not mean it CAN'T come back. You can always work on trying to lose weight because that will help....but getting a surgical consult to see if you can have a bit more skin removed at that apron at the bottom will be a good solution. Best of luck to you on your journey!

yes, you just need another tuck. It would be an opportunity to lower your scar and you might get by with a mini tuck where your umbilical skin is left alone, much easier recovery
