I have been noticing these 2 mini pouches of skin on the end m my tummy tucky scar! It has been an year that I went through the surgery and unfortunately I cant afford them to be removed! Are they going disappear if I lose weight? Thank you!
I have a bulge above my scar and dog ears but surgeon said it was normal and I just need to exercise. He said he couldn't do lipo on my hips as this is a different procedure and would have to come back if I want it done.
It's been almost 8 yrs since my tummy tuck. I'm curious if I have dog ears. I can't tell, i just know I hate those bulges. I don't know if it's just fat since Ive gained a little weight lol or if it's dog ears. I am thinking of having lipo if at all possible. Thank you!
I came across a physicians page that estimated dog ears are actually very common, possibly up to 20% of all tummy tucks? I want to minimize risks as much as possible. I am having a standard tummy tuck with lipo on the flanks. Nothing on back.Are there certain risk factors that makes one more prone to them? I am a healthy weight . Ive had 2 c sections and my abdomen bulges out more on one side than the other. Is there anything I can do to minimize risk of dog ears during recovery?
I had a full TT (also revision of right breast lift) done in June, Dr. And I had discussed and confirmed doing lipo during the surgery (it's in the surgery notes that it was supposed to have been done) but surgeon didn't do it. I feel my results would have been better with it, I'm starting to have dog ears at the ends of my incision. What can/should I do?
3 1/2 mos post op ETT & abd is still swollen &hurts. CT scan done stated: some irregularity in the rectus muscles of my abd & some extra fluid in the lower abdomen & around the incision. It is thought this is all related to your surgery however these shouldn't be present 3 months out.There was no evidence of overt infection or abscess.My PS w/o seeing me dx a seroma. What does irregularity in the rectus muscle mean? Over incision is hard on both sides, like bone. Looks like keloids & dog ears
I had a TT in October. My PS agrees that I have a dog ear And i showed him an area on my stomach under my belly button that I feel should be flatter. He mentioned that in January, I could come into the office for lipo nd have both of these areas fixed with just numbing. He also said there is no downtime. Has anyone performed this before? Is there really no downtime? Will I be able to lift my son, he weighs 24lbs? Do I start all over with not being able to wear jeans etc?
I had a tummy tuck 9 months ago. I have small dog ears. If they get corrected, will I be able to go back to work right away, pick my 2 yr old up, and excercise? Also, I had a hematoma (Dr. says I was kicking right after surgery) when I had the tummy tuck and I am worried that I might get another one if I correct the dog ears. What are the risks? Thank you!
