$11,000
I had a TT and breast lift because after having two kids I hated my stomach and saggy boobs. I'm 36 years old, never been a smoker and have no history of any medical diseases. I weighed 155 before my surgery. I was really nervous as I have never had surgery before. Now I'm feeling depressed as I have had skin issues as my PS described it. I think my girdle they put in after surgery was too tight. I am 4 weeks PO and really wish I would've accepted the way I looked before. I see my PO once a week, she is very kind and tells me to stay positive but the outcome for me right now doesn't look to promising. I am uploading pictures and I hope someone can give me good news.

Thank you
goodluck to you
Thanks
I know my friend had same issue her happened because she was around smoke what did the Doctor say?Who was the Doctor. Good luck
I feel like my PS doesn't really know how to treat it. She's very nice but she hasn't given me any other treatment. I told her last week I was afraid I was going to have to have wound vac, she laughed and said well I don't think it's that bad:(
Did you wound ever heal ?
I'm still on week 4 PO and it still looks pretty bad. I see PS on Saturday.
I am no means a expert but I would definitely as about risk of infection and why it still looks open ? How long has she been in practice and can you get a second opinion. I don't mean to alarm you but If it does not look right I would not chance it I would look at second opinion from a different plastic Surgent.; find one that does free consults and speak to them. I will pray for you recovery
Hi worriedmommy, I'm so sorry to read that you wish you would have accepted the way you looked before. Try not to be depress & realize that it's not as easy as you thought it would have been but that eventually you'll get some of your desired results. I'm in week 10 & I'm still open in some areas. I'm not sure if you've heard of wound care or a wound vac but ask if you can be evaluated by a wound care specialist. They will clean & care for your wound and get you healed. Listen to your body & it's okay to ask questions from others to ensue your health needs are being addressed. I pray that you start to heal. & can see the benefit from your surgery. I felt the same one & didn't understand why I was having such a hard time. Your attitude is half the battle find the good in your life & allow that to be your source of strength and eventually things will start to look better. I'm praying that things will turn around & you'll start seeing positive results!!!! God bless!!!'
