I was not expecting the scar to indent and cause hangover and I also had liposuction to the back and flanks. I'm not sure if I require a revision to get the look I want. I specifically told my Dr that I was concerned I would have @dog ears md he said that I would not as long as he took the incision over as much s possible. I just want to know if I expected too much or if these are good results
I had full tummy tuck 2 yrs ago. and my Dr said he did lipo however Im not happy and don't see shape to my waist and now left with a bulge above scar. When I wear form fitting clothes indention shows. Will lipo help to have flat lower stomach? I did return before and after a year to ask my plastic surgeon he first suggested I loose weight. I don't feel that will help with what I want fixed. Frustrated, need professional opinion. Thank you! I submitted before and after pictures
I developed several small keloids alond my scar, with the largest at 1 of the drain sites. 18 months after my tummy tuck sugery my PS injected them with steriods. Weeks later they flattened out then later develped into deep indentations. What is the best way to correct this? The issue seems to be that the steriods melted away all the fat under the scar so I am not sure scar revision will be an appropriate approach.
I had a tummy tuck with mesh to repair my large diastasis recti. I have noticed that my upper abdomen bulges out a bit more than the rest. It is firm when I touch it as is my whole midline to my abdomen, but I can feel a hard bulge. Is this scar tissue or inflammation still? Above the bulge by my sternum is an indentation that I can push my finger into, is this diastasis that should have been sewn and is still open? How far up do surgeons sew? Do I need a revision?
Hello so I had surgery six months ago and i still have a indentation that causes pain and discomfort , when i take showers and it hits the area also if theres any pressure on that area. Doctor keeps saying its a stich.... i do not beleive thats true. Hes in another state and is telling me i need a steroid shot in that area. I need help on what i should do.
I had a c section one year ago. Im 4 pounds away from pre pregnancy weight. I had a big baby and Im short. My placenta was also anterior. My stomach hangs as I lose more weight and Ive noticed a large indent showing up recently. What is this? Is the only way to fix this issue a tummy tuck?
I had a full TT and lipo on 4-19, drains out on 4-26. Now that drains are out, I notice I have an indent or impression on my pubic area. What is this? Its right under my incision line and in between where my drains were. 30 F, 55, 170.
Hello, i was hoping to get a second opinion on my results. Its been 5 weeks after TT with lipo to tummy, flanks and back. Im still swollen around waist esp. from back. I had a tiny circle of necrosis and 1 week ago at center of incision, my PS debrided it and now it has closed and has a brownish scab on it. Im worried about my hips they are indented- upper part is tight and lower at level of incision is softer. PS told me its because he pulled everything very tight. Will it even out? Thank you
My stomach fat is distributed such that I have virtually none above the belly button, and everything is below in a pouch. As long as I can remember, I've had this beneath my belly button. I've tried not wearing underwear, better posture, etc. but it won't go away. I wonder if it's because I wore too-tight briefs as a kid combined with bad posture, making a permanent indentation? It makes me look fatter than I am and I'd like to be able to get the smooth stomachs that I see on most girls.
