I am 6 years post-tummy tuck and have recently found out I need a hysterectomy. Unfortunately my uterus is quite enlarged into abdomen due to a fibroid and my doctor is concerned they may have to do a vertical incision. What is the likelihood I may need an abdominoplasty revision. My diastasis was very bad and the plastic surgeon performed a miracle fixing it. Ive been very happy with the results and aghast at the thought theyll be ruined.
Will my stomach go back to when i got the tummy tuck after finding out when I started swelling 2 years after having the tummy tuck I had fibroids with endometriosis n had UFE Surgery. Will my flat stomach return?
Upon having my consultation With my surgeon for a tummy tuck he has discovered an abnormal bulge and has referred me to have an ultrasound. Radiologist has advised that I have a large fibroid tumour in 11.4 X9.4 cm. Haven't looked into this further I understand that my only treatment might be either laparoscopic or myomectomy method of removal of the same. Whilst I await an appointment with my gynaecologist, I was wondering would you be able to perform this procedure durning tummy tuck . Thanks
After years of major stress, I put on some weight and my tummy looks like Im 6 mo pregnant. My GP said this was cortisol from the stress. I have always had some bloating from stage 4 endometriosis and fibroids. Had a hysterectomy many years ago. Would I still be a candidate for a TT with the present endo? No loose skin. Tummy is hard as a rock.
My TT was a little over a year ago, 3/31/17. After the swelling went down my tummy was relatively flat as long as I stayed away from certain foods like sugar, gluten, beer and dairy. I eat healthy. However, the past few months I've noticed I'm bloated all the time, no matter what I eat or drink. My PS told me that I have zero belly fat and all he removed was loose skin and tightened the muscles during surgery. I also had a hernia repair. Could it be a fatty liver or the three uterine fibroids I have?
I am 53 years old I have uterine fibroids which causes heavy menstrual bleeding, I was told my uterus is the size of a 6 month pregnancy my stomach does not protrude whereas the size of my uterus is visible to anyone's eyes, I want my tummy as flat as possible when I get my tummy tuck, should I take care of getting a hysterectomy first (recommended)?Will two different board certified surgeons work together to do both at the same time?
In November of 2016 I was dx'd with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and I am on 12.5 mg of metoprolol to slow my heart rate. I get dizzy often and my heart races still but I want the Tummy Tuck. I'm down to an 18 from 24 hoping to lose more of course but it seems that my belly pulls giving me pain in my back and lower abdomen. I also have fibroids so that could also be the abdomen issue.
In my late 40s & have fibroids. Found out I can wait until menopause for fibroids to shrink on their own or get embolization or hysterectomy. Is someone with fibroids a candidate for a tummy tuck? Also, some doctors say their TT patients aren't required to stoop after surgery. Are others pulling too tightly to get the horizontal scar low & avoid the vertical scar, which I was told I might need? Is that a red flag or a preferred technique? I can do w/o the vertical scar but safety is priority
