I have just returned to my PS for an in surgery...
WORTH IT$8,000
I have just returned to my PS for an in surgery scar revision and a fix up on the lipo,
Done under a general without any sedative, in bright lights was the most horrible experience I have every had.
Has anyone else been through this as well?
To start with he injected area,s involved with a huge horse needle to deaden the area. I was then left on my own , scared to death in a brightly lit room to contemplate my ordeal, so I managed to get sufficiently worked up , by the time he and his nurse arrived.
I could feel cutting and pulling with the stitching but no pain, but when he started with the lipo, I felt stabbing and dragging, truly painful.
I would never suggest this method of scar revision or lipo, unless a sedative and a gentler approach is adopted.
Would love to hear any other experiences.
My PS has sunk pretty low in my opinion after this . I had no preparation, and he hasn't bothered to ring to see how Im doing.
VERY DISAPPOINTING

ok been 6 months since TT . scar is much flatter , but I'm still so unhappy with the scar puckering which is better in the middle but still on the ends where it also drops,
We had a wonderful holiday in USA and then Hawaii so my tummy had its first big debut, it was quite hard to hide the scar in a bikini, so am organising a scar revision with my dr. I also want the lipo redone a little on one side of the love handle, it is uneven, and even though I know its not much I CAN SEE IT!
I DO love my lovely flat tummy and am quite happy I have had it done, it really is about patience.

Well this has been a long time coming , but life...
Well this has been a long time coming , but life just gets going once recovery is on the way, especially with 7 children 7 grandchildren and a personl training business to run.
Today is 12 weeks post opp., I'll start with the good stuff.....
Have been wearing my bikini with pride, once the scar is covered, my lovely flat tummy looks amazing and my profile without the lumps of love handles looks great too.
I have been swimming and sunbathing to my hearts content, and even wearing a midrif top to show off!!! Thank you ps.
The down side,The puckering is still quite prominent and I really hate hate hate the scar in general.
My scar is like a very wiggly line up higher on the right side , infact love to hear from others about there scar, Please , please, please.
Infact my scar is totally different on the left side to the right side, I like the left side better, the love handle is smaller, the scar flat and lower and more faded, how come???
I still occasionally wear my compression garment, (didnt wear the lighter ones , I bought at all, so my advise is dont buy them) the tightness is still very apparent,, infact I feel as if I have a very tight girdle on .
I am in a smaller sized jean and pants, but just the one size, I was a 6/8 and now Im a 4/6 but im happy with that, I didnt mind my size.
I am back doing abdominal work, as I normally did, I also do heavy weight training and Im fully back to that.
Love to hear from other,s thanks for listening
Good luck all tummy tuck ladies

first off i want to say how amazing you look! wow and btw you dont need to lose a pound! you are tiny ! tummy looks beautiful...wanted to tell you though that your ps can def do scar revision ! it should be at no additional scar either! give him a call and make app to see him! he can most likely do it in the office..i had revisions done under local...i had to go to hospital but i got addition lipo..so you should be able to have it done easily in office...you look great though you should be happy!

HEY Aussy Girl! My partner in TT's lol You look fabulous!! Such a hottie! Yes it is our 12 weeks & while I see what you mean about the puckering around your scar, did your PS say that is something that will stretch & fade as you heal? I'm not thrilled at where my scar is at (healing wise) either! its very red & angry looking again & I'm supposed to be wearing a bikini by next sunday for our vacation :( But honestly I think you look amazing! I love your belly button & your tummy looks so tight & flat. Check in with your ps & see what he/she says about a revision or any treatments you can do to help reduce the puckered look. I think i'd prefer to have that than the way mine is looking. I'm going to post pics tonight or tomorrow as I'm having a revision on the drain hole sites!! Ugh But it sounds like your back to normal, good to hear from you & see a pretty pic of you as well :)

Thank you dear Lisee, what a sweet lovely person you are.
I have an appointment with my ps in a week, so will put to him , what is to happen,
Unfortunately his response last time was on the defensive side, which is a shame, as I just want him to help, I know he is human.
Cant wait to see your 12 week pics,
