I had the same experience. I assumed when I told the surgeon that I wanted to go flat that I would have the flat closure. That was not the case. I also am left with areas of excess skin. I was 70 last Spring when I had the bilateral and just like you I did not want any additional surgeries. That is a great idea to take a picture of what you want and show it to the surgeon. Your suggestion will benefit others. Thank you for that❤️

I am wondering how much excess skin was left for those of you who are unhappy with the surgery. My surgeon left a very very small amount without telling me, and told me it was in case I wanted it for a bathing suit! I am essentially flat but there is more left on the right than the left. I agree: they should ask us. I check the area regularly for recurrence.
