I Two Weeks Post Op from my Tt. my Mons is So High, my Incision is So High Even for Granny Panties?

I am two weeks post op from my tt. My mons area is so high I am worried it will stay like that. PS said there is no fluid because It's not hard. My incision is so high on my right side , but the left side has a dog ear. The middle part of the incision looks horrible, I am applying an antibiotic with silver so it can heal. I feel miserable , I should've appreciated my body before now I look at it and can't help to burst into tears..

Two Weeks Post Op

Thank you for your question, and I am sorry for your distress. If possible , attaching a photo would make it possible to give some more specific answers to the issues you present.

Unhappy with TT results

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy. You obviously need to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Unfortunately, these types of things tend not to get better over time.

Concerns after Tummy Tuck?

I'm sorry to hear about the anxiety you are experiencing after tummy tuck surgery.

At this point, there is not much to do but allow for additional time to pass before evaluating the end results of surgery. This evaluation is best made 6 months and even up to one year after surgery.
