Had TT end of July and looks great but except for puffiness where scar ends I am pleased with the TT but now I am second guessin

By SayHayNay on 01 Dec 2010

My hips look yucky. My hips have a ripply looking texture on each side. My hips are now bigger prior to the TT and look bigger and stick out farther then before. Has this happened to anyone else? I see the PS in a couple of weeks. I do not think I gained weight. So disappointed.

It could possibly be a phenomenon known as "dog ears", where the ends of the scar puff out a bit. Also, where you gain weight may shift after a tummy tuck.

Please let us know what your doctor says and how you're feeling about your tummy tuck after you see her or him.

My hips also seemed bigger after the surgery...and all of my pants did not fit...I am 9 weeks post op now, and things have settled down...my hips are smaller, and I am fitting into my jeans...I had ripply looking texture as you put it, and that is sorting itself out as well... I hope you read this to post what your experience is now, because you are almost a year out, and I would love to hear what your experience is now...
