How do I obtain my operative report from my ps? How important is it to have when consulting for a tt/scar revision? (Photo)

Sorry to hear about your disappointment with your surgical results.  The operative report is part of your medical record that you are entitled to.  It is common practice for offices to provide records for patients.  The report is helpful for the next surgeon to review.  I would persist in your attempts to obtain your records. If your procedure was done at a hospital, the hospital will also have a copy of the operative report.  Good luck.

Thanks for youir question and sharing your photos.I'll address each of your concerns separately.The operative report is not too important, but if you want to get a copy of it, you may go in person and request it at your surgeon's office.  Alternately, you may see a second surgeon and ask them to request your OP Report.The numbness around the incision and the umbilicus may be permanent.  Occasionally, the nerves will grow back in further near the lower abdomen over the course of a year, but not too much more.  The lumpiness or looseness of the abdominal scar may be revised.  The "Dog Ears" may be fixed easlily with liposuction.Best of luck.Dr. Taranow

Very important. But you have a vast # of posts?? was not your surgery successful??? Appears you really needed weight loss prior to the surgery. Now with typical excess skin/fat complications. Plus your posted wish photos are not realistic outcome for you...
