I had a lower body lift done in early may. My surgeon informed me that a lower body lift may not be enough to address my skin issues due to laxity. I have an FDL incision planned in october but i'm wondering if there's another way to go about it? I really don't want the vertical scar.
I had low iron, and a low hemoglobin. I was recently treated with iron infusion, two treatments of Venofer 200mg, and now have an iron saturation of 60, which I understand is high. My hemoglobin levels have risen, which is good, but it appears I have what they call iron overload. Is it safe to proceed with the surgery despite having high iron saturation? This isnt something common for me, I typically deal with low iron and low, hemoglobin due to my menstrual cycle being extremely heavy.
I'm very lean with a just a small amount of excess skin around my stomach, and my concern is that my lower abdominal area appears loose. I do all the vacuums, but there's something about my anatomy that I just can't seem to improve that area. I have no children. Would abdominoplasty be a good option for me?
My surgeon advised me that I didnt need a fdl and a abdominoplasty would be sufficient to remove all my loose skin. I went with what I was advised as surely the surgeon knows best, although now I am left with loads of loose skin still. I explained how unhappy I was and the surgeon said well you should have had a fdl. When I said he advised me I didnt need one he said No its because you didnt want the scar, which is not true. What should I do as I am so unhappy?
Full tummy tuck and liposuction 1 year ago in occasionally get pinches and random pain post op but the last few days I have had a burning stinging pain in the left lower abdomen that comes and goes. It doesnt feel any different than the other side, it is soft when I push on it. Could there be a problem?
Hello! Im a 36 year old female who is 5 4 and I weigh around 140 lbs. Im very active and work out at least 6 days a week ( walking, hitt, and weights). I would like to have a tummy tuck since my stomach was very stretched during my 2 pregnancies and I am done having children. I am interested in a skin only tummy tuck because I would like a quick recovery but wondering if that would be an option for me? Thank you
I am 9 weeks post tummy tuck, my upper abdomen (between my belly button and under my breast) seems more swollen at times, usually in the afternoon. I am still wearing my garment during the day, my surgeon said to wear it until week 12. Please advise?I saw my surgeon, he thought could be fluid but he checked and there was none. The only other answer he gave is that my muscles are weak. He said he tightened them and it is impossible for the stiches to come off so that is not what is causing the upper bulge. Just looking for other advice, Thanks.
