“Full TT - Finally Did It.”

Yes much to soon but I don't know I was unsure about my own as soon as I saw it... I was not happy line was too high than placed I told him not to go onto my hips etc etc... Everything was all wrong and now I am 6 months later and still dealing with major issues, keloiding, hiding it is always a problem. So if you have doubts maybe you have reason to be concerned...Just keep in mind however the shock of a actual tummy tuck and what you do to yourself is traumatic. I mean everybody questions does it look right? and did I make the right decision. Give it a few weeks to see if your happy with the new figure. Belly Buttons I noticed tend to take a few months before they look normal and not like a folded piece of skin in a hole. Keep your support garment on. You dont wanna put unneeded tension on your wound causing it to stretch. Most people need to take care of this because in a few months if cared for properly you will have a flat, thin line. That when finally healed will be barely detectable. Make sure if any signs of keloiding start to occur notify your doc immediately and have the problem taken care of before it becomes a bigger issue. So just relax and give it a few months probably 3 before you seen some of what it's actually going to look like in the final result. Tummy Tucks are a long drawn out thing. They just don't tell you because most people would opt out to getting one. Good Luck!

I think you have the right to be concerned. the position of the scar is way too high. do I see another scr on the upper abdomen why? Your preop pics show you were ideal for a tummy tuck and a GREAT result. Was your Surgeon a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON?

i'm looking into a TT and lipo at the moment. Could you tell me how much time I would have off work? I am an echo tech in a hospital.

After a full abdominoplasty with muscle repair a 2 weeks off is good 3-4 weeks before any heavy activity

can you plz provide the name of your dr. thank you

Hi Marina,

I talked to my PS today regarding my high scar. He said that if he made it any lower it wouldn't close. He promised me that it would be flat and it would has visible as my implant scars from 20 years ago around my areola. the scars he is referring too are almost impossible to see. I am 16 days post op and going through the same thing. It makes me sad to hear you feeling like this. Ya know, give it time. If it's not of enough skin then its not enough skin. How would you revise that if there is nothing to pull or remove anymore? How tall are you? I'm 5 two and very short waisted. I had a 4 to 6 inch seperation in my abdominal muscle and that was huge! So if you had something like this maybe what you see on the outside is because of the healing on the inside and you PS wants to make you feel he will take care of you with a revision because its better then having you feel doomed? Hey, If my huge ridge goes a way and my scar is flat as a pancake I'll take it. I don't care where it is. That how terrified I am I will always have a ridge that prevents me form wearing a dress that fits to the body, workout pants..or alot of other things because you can see the ridge. There is a lot of support here. I have a blog too but I dont see it. It was here for a bit prior to the last few newest blogs then it vanished. :-( Much good thoughts to you.

hi there, i had my tt done by a very wonderful Doctor here in SC.. i like ur before pic, oh my.
