I have a tummy tuck over a year ago and Im pretty happy with the results. Other than I feel like I still have fat sides. I went to three different consultations and they all said no liposuction with procedure was needed. May because the area that bothers me is more hip but Im trying to see what can I do to improve it and what also would be an option for the scar. Its too low on hips and shows when wearing any kind of clothing cut
Updated: Tummy tuck & BBL. - My belly button was not on the right side. She was too busy to get off the phone when she marked me and marked my line off-center. Never was my belly button to the right of my center. She has avoided me from the first office visit after surgery when I asked about it. Beware of doctors that blame the patient. .
So I previously asked a question and many doctors said from the look of it I may need a tummy tuck. I love to wear high rise bathing suits. Does the scar need to be from hip to hip? I would hate for it to show, and hate how long the tummy tuck scar is. That is the main reason I am avoiding the procedure. Are there shorter scars that don't extend to the hips? Or does it need to be from hip bone to hip bone?
I am two weeks post op for my tummy tuck. My surgeon said my tummy tuck consisted of the hip bone to hip bone method with a T shape at the bottom. The left side starts on the hipbone but the right side goes up my back. Was this a mistake? Its very uncomfortable. It feels like my back is burning every time I try and stand. I also hate the scar. I thought the my tummy tuck would be discrete and not really noticeable. This scar on my back proved me wrong.
I'm a mom of three interested in tummy tuck, liposculpting of abdominals and hips, and fat transfer to glutes. In what order do you recommend I have these procedures? How many operations are required to achieve them? How much time for recovery is needed between each? Thank you.
35, no children, lost about 50lb 15yr ago. 3 consults, Drs suggested different procedures. Goals: defined waist, fuller, rounder butt/hips, mons reduction Breast Aug - modest/natural looking. All Dr suggest implant vs. Fat transfer (1st choice) Dr. 1 - Circular TT, lipo, BBL Dr. 2 - Lower TT, lipo, BBL + labiaplasty (not interested) Dr. 3 - 360 lipo, BBL, Vaser tightening Due to recovery/scarring, not fully wanting TT, more opposed to CTT. Can I achieve a good result w/o TT?
Hi, Im getting a bit concerned now. So initially 3 weeks after my tummy tuck surgery I went septic and was admitted for 5 days. I am now almost 6 months post op and my scar is still red raw and either side of my hips keep getting reoccurring sores. I was given an eye ointment treatment to rub on the area as apparently it was something to do with the stitches irritating me? Anyway they havent healed and Im still getting sores in the same places, constantly, they do not heal.
Post kids, do I need a full blown tummy tuck or a mini? & How do you know the difference? Also...I have dips in the upper portion of my butt that I hate. How do I get rid of those?
I went to see about a tummy tuck and the doctor said I was a good candidate to have it done. As soon as she heard of my insurance, she said no they do not cover that. With me having hip pain, back pain, unable to do many exercises from excess skin, how does a doctor let my insurance company know it is not just cosmetic. She did not even try to help me get my insurance company to do the surgery. I would like some help in this area.
