Hi, i had a tummy tuck 11 months ago, complicated with a hematoma, right away i noticed still had loose skin above my bellybutton, i had lot of swelling, wore my compression garment for 6 months, it's gone down a lot but still have swellling,did radio frequency for the loose skin but didn't improve that much, i noticed that my pubic area seem to have gone higher, can my results be improved by a revision? If yes when would be the right time? Thanks

Dear St1346,
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...
Try weight loss first. If then you still have excess fat, liposuction may work. If you have excess skin, you will need a revision. However, avoid any revisions until you have had all the children you want.
You did not show your before photos, but if you have internal fat, this is not treated with surgery. If you have external fat, this can be removed with liposuction. Not all fat is removed with a tummy tuck for safety to the skin.
