Uneven abdomen - does my incision need to be redone? (Photo)

Dear Jess9914,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your photograph is not good enough to be able to give you much of an opinion. It seems like you should see your plastic surgeon and determine what the possibilities are for improving this.

Liposuction may be sufficient, but if you have skin access on the side of the incision, then extending the excision further and taking out more skin may be helpful as well.
As skin tightening comes to an end at the corners of the incision. There can be a skin redundancy sometimes referred to as a “dog ear”.
The only area where removing more skin would be beneficial is on the left side.
An in person assessment is needed to get a proper evaluation.
Liposuction removes excess subcutaneous fat and doesn’t treat skin excess.
If the problem is skin related, then you need skin surgery.
If the problem is fat related, then you need liposuction.
Understanding the problem dictates the correct solution.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
