I'm a 60-yr old female with good physical health. I had a Tummy Tuck on 5 weeks ago, and now I am having a lot of tightness. One day I think I'm progressing well, and then the next I feel as if I've stepped by several days. I have been wearing a fairly tight compression garment and am uncomfortable without it. I thought I would start feeling better and not as tight as time goes on but haven't. Is this tightness normal at this stage? Also, should I change to a less fitting garment? Please provide any additional suggestion for a speedier recovery. This surgery has really taken its toll on me. I don't seem to be improving as quickly as I feel that I should.
Hello, Im 55, 54, 123 lbs, and experiencing loss of elasticity of my stomach skin. I dont want fat removed. The second photo Im bending forward at the waist. I really dont want a scar, but any movement other than standing upright and still looks bad. I would like to continue to wear a bikini and not be self-conscious. What do you recommend?
Sagging arms and stomach overhang I have lost 70 lbs over 2.5 years. I'm 64 years old. I exercise on an elliptical and use light weights 4-5x per week. My thighs and butt sag, but I can live with it. What I hate is my arms and lower stomach.
I am a 56 year old female and I am interested in lipo and a tummy tuck. I had a hernia repair about 15 years ago. Will the fact that I have mesh disqualify me from having a tummy tuck?
I have had both a tummy tuck consult and a liposuction consult. I was told the tummy tuck was not a good idea because there wasn't enough skin to pull down, and I would end up with a scar where my belly button was. As for liposuction, the doctor said she wouldn't advise it because there wasn't enough squishy there to suck out. She said she could do my flanks, but wasn't certain it would provide the result I wanted. 5'7 128 lbs. 56. Morpheus8 on my stomach helped a little. Coolsculpt not great
I had laser Lipo to my full ab, a year ago, which left me with some irregularities and increased laxity. I have had three plastic surgery consult and I've been given three options. I am trying to decide which would be most appropriate for me. I am 56 years old and have had three pregnancies with vaginal delivery.
I am a 64 year old woman, no children but have had many bowel surgeries due to Crohns Disease. My last surgery was in November 2021 for a peristomal hernia (my second one) and it was decided by the surgeons to move my stoma to the other side of my stomach because they felt the muscles were weak in the original area from the many years of having an ileostomy. Im doing well but the scarring is pretty horrendous. I look and feel ugly and very self conscious. Would I be able to get a tummy tuck?
Hi doctor, I am 61, 5'1, 112 lbs. I had a TT w/ab muscle repair about 12 years ago. A few years ago, I found that I had itching at the top and bottom of where the muscle repair was completed. Now the skin where it itches has turned brown. The itching is the worst when I lose a few pounds. What could be causing the itching any my skin turning brown?
Age 56, healthy female, 16 months post-up tummy tuck procedure. Experiencing pouching below belly button that was not there prior. It is firm and not squishy like fat. Trying to determine the underlying cause to have it addressed. Surgeon said it is fat. Recd 48 injections mesotherapy which did very little. Can't find a doctor that will weigh in to provide a clue as to what has caused this or recommend how to solve it. I look worse than before.....
I'm 60 years old. Had a heart attack 18 months ago and have a stent. I'm feeling fine. I'm within 20 lbs of my ideal weight. I exercise regularly and no longer smoke. I suspect the smoking was a major factor in my unexpected heart attack along with stress from my job. Do you require clearance from my cardiologist before scheduling this type of procedure?
