Had a mini tummy tuck, am I able to revise either a full tummy tuck ? (photo)

Dear  Exquisite847,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tummy tuck surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides, you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Hello, typically it is feasible to have full tummy tuck after undergoing a mini tummy tuck. However, you would need to discuss your concerns and goals with your plastic surgeon, who would then advise if the secondary procedure would meet your expectations. Thank you for your question.

Hello and thank you for the question. I cannot be specific without seeing standard pictures. Yes, you can have a full abdominoplasty after previous mini abdominoplasty. Best,

Healing and recovery are patient dependent.  It may take 6 months or longer after surgery before all of the swelling is gone. Some of this will depend upon the surgical technique and adherence to postoperative protocols.  Your plastic surgeon is a great resource, and his/her exam is much better than speculation on my part.

Dear Exquisite847Thank you for your question and photos!  It is difficult to tell what would make the contour better from your photo.  How long are you post surgery?  Please follow up with your surgeon.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Yes, it is possible to convert a mini tummy tuck to a standard tuck. This will allow your surgeon to address muscle wall separation. The incision will be approximately hip to hip with another incision around the belly button. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

You did not say when your surgery was, nor showed the full abdomen. However, just based on the one photo, you appear to be early in your healing process. I would suggest discussing any concerns you have with your surgeon.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.

It is difficult to evaluate the options without seeing photos,

Yes, you can do the procedures perfectly,, if your state of health allows it, in 6 months, or a year.
Definitely the most appropriate is to start (tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL can also be included), you are a candidate perfect, for the procedure, with this you can eliminate all localized fat and flaccidity, you will get the best results and have a defined appearance according to your body.
