Recommendations for extra skin 9 months after tummy tuck with muscle repair? (Photos)

Question

I had an abdominoplasty with MR 9 months ago and began to notice extra skin around 5 months. I was 158 day sx, 155 after and have remained the same weight. I asked my PA and she said i need a revision. When i saw my PS at 6m he said no. Its not skin.Just back fat. I'm going to see him for my 9month. Looking fo opinions and recommendations thank you!

It doesn't look that you have issue with extra skin. Let result mature, swelling and scar (about 12-15 months in your age) and then discuss this issue with your PS. You seem to have preaty good result. Hope this helps.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your photos it doesn't appear there is much excess skin and you have a pretty good result.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  If there is excess fat in front of the abdominal wall it can be improved with liposuction.  If it is visceral fat it can only be addressed through weight loss.  Your surgeon should be able to provide some clarity for you.

Hello @Inventive664326, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. It is important to take into account several aspects among which is the surgical technique applied, and wait at least 1 year to consider a revision . The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Inventive664326,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
