Fat roll after Tummy Tuck
I am 10 weeks post op tummy tuck and arm lift. When I sit, I have a fat roll above my belly button. I am upset because I figured my stomach would be completely flat even when sitting. My arms are still a little flabby. Is anyone else having the same issue. Am I rushing my results? I am so worried I will need a revision and I do not want to go through surgery again.
it's not uncommon to need a revision. Sometimes what looks good on the table is different when you're up and standing. I have had revisions done and just had to pay extra anesthesia fees.Just talk to your surgeon about your concerns.

My doc said given my body shape (meaning that I had excess fat above my belly button) that I will have a muffin top post LBL if I do not have lipo. So on my second surgery - brachioplasty on 12/11 - I am having lipo above the belly button to take care of that exact problem. I am not looking forward to it, but I know that the lipo is necessary. I understand that revisions are somewhat common. Hope that this info help....
Upper abdomen fat is not really well treated with a tummy tuck. As mentioned, usually that needs secondary liposuction.
