Updated: I had a tummy tuck overseas in Turkey. Which resulted in a burn to the area leading to an infection. Necrosis in the abdominal area. Surgery was performed and a skin graft to cover the area. I am extremely unhappy with the appearance of this area on my body and would like to know if an revision tummy tuck can be done to give a better appearance or any other suggestions you are willing to provide? Many thanks
Hello I had a tummy tuck 8 years ago and I developed necrosis. The area where the necrosis developed is now hard at the scar and my navel bulge out. I had surgery in Atlanta. A fake surgeon and this happened. I wanted to know is a revision possible?
Is a full tummy tuck revision (basically 2nd TT) more dangerous or more likely to incur any complications than the first time around? Is risk of necrosis, dvt, etc any higher with a revision than the initial abdominoplasty? Thank you.
Original full tummy tuck done sept22. The incision ended up with necrosis about 12 days after the procedure (started with fluid build up under the skin). The area is completely closed now. I feel its very large scar and very unflattering. I know I need to wait a least 9 months. But will I need a TT revision or will scar revision do? And for the placement of the scar in my hip/buttocks, it is very low can it be raised up?
I had surgery Nov 21. Im 51 175 had sleeve surgery in 2015(lost 80). Due to saggy skin on my abdomen I decided finally get a TT, Lipo to my back and booty. 4 days after surgery my stomach started to turn black. Went to the ER and started Wound Care, Necrosis and ischemia set in leading to skin death. Finally 6 mo later Im closed but experiencing oozing from my bellybutton and lots of swelling. It looks weird bcuz I have skin loss. Help!! Should I get a revision?! Im scared now
I had my surgery in 2013. 2 months after my 3rd child who was delivered by c-section. If I knew then what I knew now I would have done more research. I ended up with skin necrosis which left me with a horrible scar. During a consult from another dr for a breast reduction he stated my previous dr did not do the muscle repair above my belly button and only below. This gives me a very bloated look at all times. I'm hoping I have enough skin for a TT revision with no complications and better scar
Had a MM in 2017 and got necrosis. Had to see a wound clinic and now have a nasty scar along the incision with some stretch marks that got very red and ropey looking.
Do I need a revision or just time? Tummy Tuck 8/27Have fat necrosis to lower abdomen to mons area. Can it be fixed? I have seen some PS repair fat necrosis to the butt from BBL with multiple sessions of Lipo but have found nothing about fat necrosis to abdomen following TT. I did not have any Lipo done just TT & MR. I was hoping to get Lipo 360 for round 2 but I'm not sure if I need a TT Revision with Lipo. I'm happy with the results for the most part but this hump needs to go!
