Answer: Upper abdomen It is difficult to offer possible solutions without knowing more. If the contour is caused by the shape of your ribcage, then it cannot be addressed with traditional plastic surgery. If it is from internal fat then weight loss should improve the contour. If it is from failure of the muscle repair then revision surgery would be able to correct it. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Liposuction of upper abdomen Upper abdomen underneath the brests is usually left undertreated after TT or liposuction. It is very likely that agressive liposuction of abdomen, in particular upper abdomen would create significant improvement. It that doesn't work, upper abdominoplasty may be considered. Good luck.
