Meh Tummy Tuck

Like many seeking tummy tucks, I had lost a lot of weight. I also had given birth to two children--common reasons for wanting a tummy tuck. However, my initial tummy tuck was never as expected. From the beginning, it stuck out and there was too much loose skin. I complained from the initial time I saw it and each follow-up visit. I had photo print-outs, documentation. The doctor and I had several conversations. He made me wait six months but finally agreed to do a revision. The revision was 8 months after the initial surgery. Finally, post-revision, the surgery result was as expected from a top level surgeon. It looked great...for a few months. Then, within a few months, the abdomen bulged out again in a bowl shape. At the time, when this first happened, I felt a burning sensation that felt like tearing during a workout (perhaps like sutres bursting). Of course, I mentioned this to him. Each subsequent follow-up visit, we've talked about this, and he has told me how I am an unusual case. That it's due to the weight lose and pregnancies and that my oblique stomach muscles have stretched out. He assures me that the sutres are in place, that he tightened everything as much as he could, and that if he were to do it again, the same result would occur. I've asked him about different techniques, surgeries that I have researched and he has dismissed them all. He told me to work out my abdominal muscles and to suck in my stomach. I'm not sure what else I can do, but maybe my experience can help someone else.
