Almost 2 years with my scar and belly button revision

It has been almost two years with my scar and belly button revision. I want another tummy tuck revision... I want a flatter tummy. I feel like I still have extra skin. I've been looking for different opinions and options. I would like to make the best decision as possible because I don't want to keep going thru this process again and again.

Maybe you can try slimming or sculpting cream with exercise. With that said, you don’t need another tummy tuck

Did I gain weight after ur revision ? I feel like with surgery it will never be 100 % perfect but there is improvement. I had a tummy tuck still recovering and I Catch myself nit picking at all the little flaws but everyone's recovery and body's are different

I just took out my stitch. I think that I'm done for now, lol! Finally I would be able to sleep on my side again and wear jeans and underwear without the stitch boreding me! Now it won't hurt if I pass my hands thru waist or when I'm walking around or taking a shower! Now hopefully it heals well.

Hello dolls. So my little friend decided to come out again! I just email Spectrum to see what say now.... My body is rejecting this stitch and I think that I have to take it out.. Now it's longer than what it used to be. I can feel it scratching my skin and it's so ANNOYING!
