I had a full tummy tuck in 8-1-23. In September at follow up I had a seroma he cut open and drained about 2 cups of fluid. In December I saw my Dr. and had fat nercrosis removed in January. He said I had scar tissue left and we would discuss at it at my next appointment. On April 16th he is going to start injections to dissolve the scar tissue. The area is hard, uncomfortable and hurts. I want this removed but am afraid Ill possibly go through all the above again if I have a revision.
My tummy tuck was in April 2023. October I was doing lymphatic massage and noticed hard enlarged lymph nodes in my groin area. U/S was done and confirmed there are a total of six in right inguinal region, four in left inguinal region. It says benign appearing. My main concern is that they have not gone away so something is causing it. I left two messages with my surgeon over several weeks but never got a call back. Could it be related to the tummy tuck?
Hi I would really appreciate some advice how to improve my tummy tuck results. I have had 3 rounds of steroid injections at same place I got the surgery done, in my belly button scar only, not main scar (the last was about 3 months ago) which have flattened the belly button scar but it still looks unsightly, I would like any advice about lightening and improving the scars. I am 8.5 months since drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair. I have vertical scars across main scar too
Its been 8 months since my tummy tuck. I had my abs repaired after they separated with 3 pregnancies. My concerns are, Im still numb from just above my belly button down to the incision. Is that normal? And from what I can feel above my belly button, my abs are very tight and a bit sore to touch still. Even flexing or doing ab workouts at the gym doesnt feel right. Almost feels like your muscles being sore after a heavy workout that never goes away.
It was flat up until i was 7 weeks then it got bigger ad bigger as i was doing thingsr a nd house etc then at 9 weeks went bk gym . I thought it might of gone dwn but its big and hurting me as its so bloated.

Doctor said muscle repair still in place and havent sepereted
I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago with no complications. Everything seemed fine until yesterday. I noticed a blister on my scar. It doesnt hurt at all and I dont have signs of infection. It doesnt feel hot and I have not had an infection.
I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair exactly 8 months ago. Overall l'm happy with the results, but curious if the lumpiness along my scar is swelling and will eventually go away, or if that is my final result? Is 8 months post still too soon to tell?! Thank you!
I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago ... the recovery has been veer slow... I developed a seroma for the first 5 moths ... there is not more liquid but my stonach is still very swollen still after 8 months ... my stomach doesnt look flat ... I am very fit... I exercise and Lift weights ... but the results are not what I expected and made me very sad ... it was a long and slow recovery for me not to get what I expected ... I just want an answer of what went wrong ?
Hello. I had a tummy tuck with muscle and hernia repair eight months ago. Would a laparoscopic salpingectomy affect the results? I am very happy with my results and don't want to have anything loosen at all. Considering this surgery because of a strong family history of ovarian cancer. I didn't know just tube removal reduced the risk so much or I would have done this prior to the TT! Ty!
