My lower abs have never been flat. Ive had this round bulge right above my pubic mount. It Has been there the whole time. Does that mean my diastasis was never repaired in that area. I have attached a picture of my early on right after surgery and a picture 5 years later. The bulge is hard.
I had an abdominoplasty with muscle repair and upper abdo lipo done in Jan 23. Ever since surgery I've never been flat or tight. It's been 6 months now and I'm still unhappy with how much it buldges above and below my bellt button. It hangs over my leggings at the gym. Do I need a revision and how much do I need done? Like the whole skin part again?
Hello I had a TT 6.5 months ago and I started going back to the gym. I think I may have over done it because I have this bulge on my incision line. Its soft and it was sensitive to the touch. Ive been compressing with faja and took antibiotics just to be safe. No discharge or fluids leaking just swollen and red. What did it do? Do I need new stitches or does this heal on its own? Putting silicone gel with compression for now.
What can be done please I am uncomfortable Because I have this huge bulge that wont go away. It has not gone down. What would you recommend please I dont like my body I feel like I am packing like a man. It shows in clothing and makes me very self conscious and thats why I had this surgery to better my appearance and health. Please give me suggestions.
I dont know if i am too overweight or what, i just feel like i have a terrible/disguisting pouch above my incision. I had a revision and it really doesnt look good right now. I dont know what to do. Just seems like it needed to be liposuctioned or i just simply had to be leaner. Whatever reason it just does NOT look good, objectively. Pictures don't do how bad it looks justtice, btw.
TT March 2022 In then had lipo to the upper tummy due to still being rounded and having a bulge, that was March (one year later) Im still unhappy with the results - now 18 months post TT and 6 months post lipo. Due to go back to see surgeon but would like advice first. Amy advice re the swelling, bulge and roundness? Should I be a candidate for a revision if its a hernia? No hernia was mentioned at any examinations.
2 yrs 'mommy makeover' in Bellevue Washington from someone ranked as one of the best board certified plastic surgeons. I was left with a huge bulge in the pubic area that really bothers me and can be seen clearly in any clothing, appearing as a male bulge. He also used implants he said were too big (wanted 275 got 425) , and made it where he couldn't close, or couldn't remove all the areole. Chose to leave a 1in*4 in strip of areola up the bottom. Also gnarly scar from infection. Photos below
Hello! I'm hoping another surgeon might be able to give me an opinion. I am almost 9 mpo from a tummy tuck with muscle repair. I was also supposed to have lipo but my surgeon said that during the procedure he determined that it wasn't needed. I am not wondering if that was a mistake. I have this 'shelf' or bulge of fat above my scar and look just like I did from the side as before my surgery. Is there anything I should ask about when I schedule another appointment? Thank you.
I had a tummy tuck over a year ago and I look the same as the day after my procedure (minus a little swelling) . I weigh the exact same as I did the day after. I still have a bulge under my belly button. What could this be ? The surgeon took off quite a bit of skin. I had a cat scan a few days ago and there was nothing abnormal found. I have included some before and after pictures. Thank you!
Had a tummy tuck 20 months ago. I have bulging above the scar and a dent with a peircing where my navel used to be. This dent is high enough where l can't wear a bikini. I didn't have alot of excess skin and there wasn't any bulge before my tummy tuck. Can this be fixed?
