Hi, it’s been 9 months after a full tt and Luso of the back and now it seems that I’m gain fat back in the tummy and I now have to suck in my tummy so I won’t look 4-5 months pregnant which I am for sure not. At this point in my recovery, the swelling is down and I’m supposed to be enjoying my new look after 4 c-sec delivery and I’m so bummed and it affecting me emotionally and mentally. Pls what should I do?

Answer: Post-op TT Hi, and thanks for your question. Once fat has been removed via liposuction or direct excision with an abdominoplasty, it is gone permanently. That is because our bodies don't create new fat cells in adulthood. However, the fat that was left behind can hypertrophy (get bigger) with overall weight gain.

Answer: Increased fat Thank you for your photo. It is most important to have an in-office examination to determine what is causing the increase in the waist. It could be swelling, extra skin, extra fat under the skin, or fat internally. Depending on the cause, the treatment options will be different. Possible options include a small tummy tuck revision to remove extra skin or spot liposuction to get rid of the bothersome fat. Hope this helps!
