I am interested in a revision tummy tuck because I would like my stretch marks gone or under my belly button. I also feel like I still have a lot of lose skin. Any opinions?
Answer: Tummy tuck revision Dear caligirl91,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination but based on your photos, it does look like you have enough loose skin to consider a revision surgery. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: A revision can be done followed by resurfx laser treatments with melarase creams Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Revision tummy tuck You have some stretch marks visible and a small amount of skin excess when you sit. It isn't clear a full revision tummy tuck is needed, as you probably don't have much excess skin when standing. But if it is still lax, the result can be improved using the existing tummy tuck scar.

Answer: Tummy tuck It does appear that you still have a lot of skin. You would benefit from a revision, probably entailing a complete tummy tuck again. You simple have too much skin left.

Answer: Rwevision abdominoplasty It appears that you are a good candidate for revision abdominoplasty. There is some excess of skin that may be removed; however, I am afraid that you do not have so much that one can remove all your striae covered skin. Would this revision need a transposition of belly button as well can be decided only on the basis of in-person clinical exam. Good luck.
