2 weeks post-op. Hi. I’m concerned about the enlargement of my areola, bad burn to the inside of my knee, nipples don’t look realigned, tummy scar looks like my stomach is ledged upon it. Swelling going down slowly but I’m concerned my tummy actually looks fatter and is going to hang more than pre op. It’s tricky because I am in the uk and my surgeon is in Greece so I feel quite alone. I’ve told none of my family I’ve had this work done so I’m feeling quite isolated and concerned. My PS is on call on WhatsApp
Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear crazysu,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tummy tuck surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Patient management after medical tourism. Ultrasonically assisted liposuction have some possibility of creating a burn to the skin which you are experiencing. In your case it looks as though this is partial thickness and should heal with proper wound care. A blemish may result. You certainly should share your postop convalescence with your own surgeon as he will have his own method of management. One thing that is certain is that you are in the early stages of convalescence and many of the issues that are bothering you now should get better.

Answer: Is this normal after breast lift/implants, Vaser Hi Def Lipo on tummy, thighs, flanks, back, and tummy tuck? Even though you're quite early post-op, it appears that you did not have full Tummy tuck but instead you had a mini. From your pre-op photo- I would have not offered a mini tummy tuck- as it is not going to provide the best results as the full TT would. Also, when you have larger implants- the quality of lift is compromised. All of these issues needed to be discussed pre-operatively with your chosen Operating Surgeon. The burns need to be addressed , contact your Surgeon ASAP.

Answer: Problems two weeks after surgery You indicate that you had augmentation mastopexy, abdominoplasty, and extensive liposution. This is a great deal of surgery to have done at one setting with significantly higher risks of complications. In my opinion, it is unwise to undergo this extensive amount of surgery and not be able to receive adequate followup from your surgeon. At this point, I would recommend making an appointment with a local surgeon as soon as possible to evaluate your concerns .
