Hi! I have had 3 c sections over the last 8 years, oldest was 8 years ago, latest was 14 months ago.. I had two horizontal cuts and the last had to be classical as I had adhesions too much to get through to get the baby. I want a full tummy tuck, muscle repair, and lipo .. is this possible given the adhesions ? I have a consult set up but its 2 months away & I would like opinions prior to that.
I have bowel adhesions from an emergency splenectomy, a hysterectomy and 2 c-sections. I just had a partial nepfrectomy and my kidney doctor said there was a lot of scar tissue to work around. I said I thought scar tissue could be cut away. He said not to touch it unless absolutely necessary. Does that knock me out of ever having a tummy tuck?
I have a shelf of skin directly above my c-section & from what I understand it is a result of muscles being cut from surgery, and internal adhesions from scar tissue. Can this be repaired w/a full tummy tuck? Im 5' & 110 lbs.
Healthy, age 50, 5' 6, 128#. Had C-section 1997. Hoping TT will remove excess fat & improve muscle strength. I think I may have adhesions as I get pain along C-section scar line with any lower ab exercises during and after that lasts for days to the point I must avoid them. Also have lower back pain due to poor ab muscle tone. Wearing ab girdle helps, so hoping TT will solve both issues, but concerned what happens during surgery & if risks are increased due to adhesions? Thanks.
I am 7 months post tummy tuck. There is a skin to fascia adhesion next to my belly button from an incision that healed there. It now creates a deformity where my natural center line deviates to the left of the adhesion making me look very weird. Other people can notice it and wonder what's wrong with my stomach. Is there any way to easily fix this, release the adhesion, without being too invasive? I'm happy with the tummy tuck and very sad with this deformity. Thank you for your advice!
Hi ! I had a tummy tuck 25 days ago and I have a problem. My surgeon says she has never seen that before: I have a kind of hole in my belly because the quilting suture formed an adhesion. My surgeon told me to have massages done (like cupping for example) to remove this adhesion . I'm really worried... What if the hole doesn't disappear ? Is there any solution to fix the problem ? Thanks for your help and advice (the pictures were taken after 19 days).
I asked my doctor if the TT could cause abdominal adhesions since I now can't go to the bathroom (they found a new kink in my colon) and the center of my abdomen feels like there is a rock there, and he said no way. Said he was no where near my intestines. Am I missing something? Can't any type of surgery cause adhesions?
