Hi, im a 38 y.o. female . I had a tummy tuck July 2022 . I have been doing everthing thats has been suggested. I been in compression around the clock since the day of surgery. I had over 7 post opt massages ,using arnica gel, drink arnica tea daily, light exercise , drinking water , and pineapple juice. I blow up like a can of biscuits as soon as i take the garment off. I still have a flap of fat and love handles. Will this resolve itself or a another procedure is needed
I am scheduled for a MM in 4 weeks. I have read, and read, and read about before and afters, but no one has addressed how one should plan to dress after. I am clear that swelling will last for weeks depending on the person, procedure, etc. I am 5.6 about 195. I had my last child over 40. I have a heavy drooping belly. Once the TT is over, will I be able to wear my current clothes? How soon after the TT will I need to have smaller clothes available?
I had a full mommy make over 12 weeks ago with a muscle reconstruction, lipo, and breast implants.. i started exercising 3 weeks ago i usually go 3 x a week to not push myself and only maintain a healthy weight! But i have notice that after every exercise day i finish with a swollen stomach and bumps everywhere around my abdominal area... i feel sore like the soreness anywhere eals on my body after a good work out .. I will like to know if its normal?
I had a tummy tuck liposuction in my stomach breast lift and breast augmentation 10 days ago. I'm having burning in my left upper side and I'm still in significant amount of pain. What's really bothering me is there's a crease below my belly button as seen in the picture that just won't go away. also my belly button is so tiny and then there's a piece of skin hanging over the top is this all normal 10 days post-op? My plastic surgeon says it's swelling and my skin will settle out....
On 8/9 I had a mommy makeover .three days later I had severe pain in my left buttock/hip area ..no lipo was performed..that problem has resolved but 2 days later I began to have red raised hot itchy flare ups on my arms and legs. On 3 occasions I wokeup with my lips,eye or forehead swollen. My primary care says med allergyy. Why do the swelling face/lips happen at night while I'm sleeping? The swelling usually goes down in a day or 2 then I wake up to a new swelling on my face somewhere.
I had a Tummy tuck, breast lift and aug 3 weeks ago. I started walking on the treadmill 2 days ago per my Dr's approval. Pretty slow. Now speed walking. I am soooooo swollen by the end of the day. The problem is I am up 7 pounds since surgery. 3 in the last 2 days. I am watching my diet very carefully. Is this all water retention? And besides drinking tons of water and watching my sodium, is there anything I can do to help it?? I am freaking out because of the weight gain. Please help!!
2 weeks post-op. Hi. Im concerned about the enlargement of my areola, bad burn to the inside of my knee, nipples dont look realigned, tummy scar looks like my stomach is ledged upon it. Swelling going down slowly but Im concerned my tummy actually looks fatter and is going to hang more than pre op. Its tricky because I am in the uk and my surgeon is in Greece so I feel quite alone. Ive told none of my family Ive had this work done so Im feeling quite isolated and concerned. My PS is on call on WhatsApp
Does this look like normal healing for 4 days post op? I saw my dr 3 days post op and he said all looked fine. I dont have the tape, i have glud instead. just wondering if my healing looks normal and also, the pleating on my tummy tuck, is this normal or common? does it mean bad stitching? ALSO, the liposcution on my flanks, i just had a look. i still have flanks when i stand, just not as chubby? could this just be swelling? because im disappointed if thats how my flanks are going to stay.
