tummy tuck

ishi · 08-03-2009, 04:37 PM

I had breast augmentation/Lipo/TT 7weeks ago. I am having my tt scar sorted as it is puckered on one side. My question is though,that I still have "love handles" then my tummy is totally flat at the front. It hangs over my trouses a bit too. Should this of been tucked in when I had the TT done? I had lipo but he didnt do it to that area. I would be grateful for your advice. I just carnt stand it as it seems weird to have such a flat tummy and then this over hang even a bit over my scar.
Thanks for your time

I would not do any revisions until you were at least six months out unless there is a huge amount of excess. In that case you need to extend the scar to remove the excess. As you can see now you will be better with a longer scar minus the excess skin than a shorter scar.

Thanks Dr
Also just one more thing if I had lipo to that area would that make a difference?

Probably. Usually where there is extra skin there is extra fat but not always.
