Is this a normal tummy tuck in a plus size? Or is just a panniculectomy? (photo)

Asked By:Iris805 in Ventura, CA

I got a tummy tuck 5 weeks ago and I dont have neither a flat tummy or a solid belly, still saggy. The Dr marked a higer area but he didnt went that high, my belly button was relocated, when I asked him about muscles rest, his answer was "partially", the weight of what he removed and his answer was from 10 to 15 pounds, does the weight of what they removed is not important? I know I need a 2nd surgery for mons pubs in about 3 to 4 months, so can he do anything better? Should I change my Doctor?
