“Tummy Tuck Breathing Complications”
Not Worth It
Spent: $100 in Wisconsin
My mom had surgery as her stomach muscles were collapsing. She was having skin infections from the skin rubbing together. She was hoping the surgery would help her diabetics & clear up the issues with infection.
I am posting this for my mom. She had a tummy tuck done over a week ago. Since the surgery she has remained in ICU at the hospital. She is having problems breathing. The surgery went well & the incision looks great. She cannot still take a deep breath & is needing a C-pap machine to breath. Did anyone have this? Was your surgery to tight? Did your lungs adjust or do you require more surgery?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
