“Body Lift Pulled Too Tightly?”

Not Sure
Spent: $18,000 in New Jersey

I had a body lift 6 weeks ago and am still so very tight around my mid-section (where the scar is). I am afraid that my ps pulled me in too much as I think he pulled my skin right around my bones,

Although my ps removed 16 pounds of fat/skin, and overall I look much improved, I am still in too much discomfort to recommend him. If it dissipates, then yes, I would.

Is it possible to pull skin too tightly (including the hidden dissolveable sutures)during a body lift, and if so, will this resolve itself? The tightness is so uncomfortable!

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

My Doctor: Name not provided

If I knew that my discomfort is within normal limits, and that this pulling sensaton would cease,then I would recommend my doctor.

I had my body lift in Aug. 09. I am still tight and now have nerve problems. I am doing a aqua stretch program but as of yet not helped. Anyone else with tight issues. It has been over 6 months.
