Can my tummy be revised 8 months post tummy tuck? (Photo)

Question

post op appointment after TT I noticed lots of flabby skin & fat around tummy that my Dr did not remove after saying he will. He did very little lipo God knows where? He said he was going to place the navel above the stretch marks that way my existing ones will be lower & skin tight. Didn’t do that too. Now I'm left with thick love handles lopsided. skin which I can still grab easily still look pregnant and doubt the MR was tight. He deviated from the plan of surgery. Can i fix this?

Thank you for your question and the photos you provided. It appears that you could benefit from additional liposuction to the abdomen and waistline. You may consider both power-assisted liposuction to remove the fat and laser liposuction to help tighten the remaining skin. Many board certified plastic surgeons will have you wait about 1 year after your initial tummy tuck to allow for inflammation to decrease and scar tissue to soften. If you feel like your muscles could be tighter, you may consider EMSculpt to build abdominal muscles and improve any remaining rectus diastasis. Good luck!

Dear Bebecas,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
