Missed Post Op Tummy Tuck Appt in October? (photo)
I had my last post op apptt in Aug, I was suppose to go back Oct/Nov & missed that appt. During this time I have experienced issues not with the surgery but w/medications & weight gain. I have lost all the weight gained & am once again below pre surgry weight(though I am ashamed at the weight gain). I am starting to notice areas that I saw before but thought it was healing still that I am not happy with. Would it be wrong to call and make an appointment or should I just call it good.

Missed some post-op tummy tuck follow-ups and have concerns
It is highly likely that your plastic surgeon would be very happy to see you in follow-up even though you did miss your earlier appointment. You are definitely no alone in this occurrence. So call him/her for follow-up.
During your visit, you should share with your plastic surgeon the weight fluctuations that you experienced. Voice any concerns that you have about your present situation and see how this goes.
Good luck!

By all means you should call and make an appointment. Review the weight changes and the current healing situation, and your surgeon will either reassure you that all is well, or, if not, offer a treatment plan.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.

Weight Gain and Loss after Tummy Tuck
The weight gain and loss after tummy tuck may compromise results to some extent, but going back to your plastic surgeon can be therapeutic. If nothing else, reassurance and peace of mind is worth alot.

Tummy tuck follow up
It sounds like you are not satisfied with the results. I would call my surgeon if I were you and schedule a follow up appointment. Your concerns may or may not be fixable in their opinion but it is worth a try. Be sure to be honest about your weight changes. Good luck.

Post op concerns
Most surgeons want to both follow their patients and address any concerns that they may have. So please set up another appointment with your doctor. And although you may not be pleased that you gained and lost weight after surgery, it is not that uncommon and nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck to you.

Hello
If you have any concern in regards to your surgery, talking to the Doctor that performed that surgery should be the best person to advice you.

Tummy tuck
Go back to see your surgeon, and see what he says. It may be something easily treated, or something more involved. Realize if more surgery is needed you may have to pay for it, but you should talk to your surgeon.
