Too flat tummy after a tummy tuck with muscle repair and liposuction

Thank you for your question regarding concerns about a too-flat abdomen following a tummy tuck. If you're not satisfied with your post-surgery results, I recommend discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon. If you're aiming for more curves, a minor weight gain might be an option to restore some softness. Remember, "natural feminine curves" often relate to the distribution of body fat. Striking a balance between maintaining a healthy weight and achieving desired aesthetic outcomes is crucial.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Please post before and after photos of your abdomen and torso so that I can give you the most accurate assessment.

Occasionally this can happen. One of my favorite solutions to this problem is liposuction! With liposculpting or HD liposuction, we are able to help accentuate the muscles below your skin. There are varying degrees of sculpting that can be done. This works remarkably well after a tummy tuck because the skin and fat have already been thinned out. Usually, we can use the existing scars to perform the procedure, so often no new scars are needed. Photos are super helpful to discuss all possibilities. You would also be well served by speaking with your original surgeon, they may have some other options for you. Hope this answer helps.
