Revising a prior tummy tuck is possible. Call to schedule a consultation.

Will revision tummy tuck help my loose skin?



You present a difficult problem because it is obvious that you didn't stretch very well after your first full tummy tuck procedure. In order to best try and maximize your results, I would suggest revising the entire procedure with a combination of a longer horizontal scar and a verticle scar as well. A small, well placed belly button which pulls the skin in tighter around it would also help as well. I would recommend that you wait until after one year from your first procedure to allow the scar tissue to soften and the skin to maximally tighten. Hope this helps, good luck.

  2. I had great time reading your blog. I am really convinced now to undergo a tummy tuck in the Manila, because I have saggy, unaesthetic skin in my tummy and this seems a really good procedure! Thank you for sharing this! Best of luck.
