I already had upper abdomen and waist lipo 4 months ago and am having my tummy tuck consultation in December. Just curious on opinions on if Ill have a regular tummy tuck or an extended one? Will all the fat below the belly button be removed? Also whats with the protruding line in the middle of my abdomen?
Why do I have a distinct vertical skin line. I work out daily and the skin is not as tight as I thought it would be. My surgeon has stated that I lost weight after the surgery. I did. 10 pounds. Would it create such a deep line?
Worried about the outcome 5 days post op. of my belly button? does it look Normal? Do you think it will look better once the swelling goes down or would I need a revision? Very concerned about the outcome, anything I can do to make it improved?
I'm an 18-year-old female who is about 5' 3 and 125 pounds. Over the years I've developed a really unattractive line on my stomach from sitting. Part of it does have to do with my posture, but my body fat doesn't help things either. This line bugs me to no end. What is the best way for me to deal with this?
I had my tummy tuck with lower muscle repair just over 4 weeks ago. Since about 1 week post op, I noticed quite an overhang above the incision. My surgeon has told me it's because of the swelling... But this never changes!! Not even slightly!! And sometime during the day, I will have my skin squish together and my belly button looks like a line with the skin.. Is this normal for 4 weeks p/o? Or did he not take enough skin off?? I feel totally disgusting and hate the results so far.
Hello! Throughout my tummy tuck research, I have noticed a variance in incision lines. Some incisions curve upwards (French bikini cut, U-shaped) and some are straight across. Is this purely an aesthetic or is there reason for the curved incision? I've been told I need an extended TT, but I'm very hesitant to have my incision line/scar follow a French bikini cut (I don't want to be stuck with a flashback to the 80's). Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
My PS is not available now to answer my question. I am 7 months post-op from an extended tummy tuck with MR and had no complications. I am not in any pain but I feel a hard line (down the center of my stomach) that runs from a little under my breast to my navel. It's not extending or protruding.Is that my muscle repair?, it doesn't hurt but it feels strange. Thank you for taking time to answer my question.
