Hi! I had a tummy tuck 2 years and 6 months ago. I don't like the results now. I would like to do another tummy tuck with liposuction, but I'm not sure if I have enough fat for a lipo. I would also like some shape (liposculpting). I don't like my belly button since is not in the middle. Any recommendations????
Thank you!

My best advice would be to schedule at least 3 consults with different surgeons.  Get a few opinions before making any final decisions.  Are you planning to stay close to home to have this done?

Hi, yes I'm doing my research. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I would like to have the procedure done in Florida since they have a lot good reviews.

Hi doll. I don't think that the lipo was a good idea for me because I think thta I was not going to like the results since I want my scar to be lower and I my belly button to be on the middle. I waited 3 years to get this done since i did not have enough fat.

Hi!! Sorry to hear that, I know the feeling! By looking at your pictures I think that should wait a little at least 6 months or a year. You still looked swollen. I think that I know for sure it's that your belly button doesn't seem right.. I just had my revision surgery a month ago. If you are thinking on doing a revision I recommend to look for different opinions and if you feel comfortable with a Dr go for it! Make sure to let him know about your concerns from your previous Dr! Good luck and if there's anything else tgat I can help with let me know :)!

Have you looked into Dr Salama. I just have my tt revision with him. He's so good at what he does. Check him out before you settle with a dr. Do tons of research.
