Pros: I lost a significant amount of excess skin and fat as well as about one third of my stretch marks. Incision looks great with very little pain at that site.
Cons: The post op pain was very uncomfortable...mostly the upper abdominal muscles and drain sites from torque on lines at times. My belly button is triangular in shape (but I understand there are ways to round it out following healing)
I did it to decrease stretch marks, abdominal adipose tissue and loose skin. Over all I am relatively happy with the results thus far, but hoped to loose more stretch marks. I retained a number of very large ones in the suprapubic region which I had hoped would be removed with procedure. However, having a flat stomach has it's appeal!!!
How long does it take for the upper abdominal region to "loosen up" or feel less taught following Tummy Tuck? I am also wondering if this is the skin and upper abdominal muscles that are pulling which are preventing me from standing completely erect. What can I do to help facilitate slight loosening of these structures so that is more comfortable to walk and stand erect?
Great review?
Can you PLEASE tell us the clinic thAT PROVIDED that good of a price!! Where?
Thank you,
