Im 51 yes old, 59 and 185#s. I had a sleeve done 3 years ago and a revision to bypass 8 months ago. My initial weight was 292 and a goal weight of 165-170. I desperately need to have the skin removed that is hanging. It hinders exercise, movement in general, and I am constantly fighting yeast rashes below my panni. I am not sure what surgery would help me the most. At my age I am not concerned about what I look like naked but this hinders wearing normal clothing even. What do you suggest?
1. Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck? I'm 45, 5'4, and 189. I plan on waiting until next year for surgery so I can lose more weight. I've lost 60 pounds so far. Pressure from the hanging apron is a problem for me: rash & causes my mons to have painful cysts. 2. If you think I could be a good candidate, what weight/BMI should I aim for? 3. What can a surgeon do to fix the fat protrusions at my bra line? Previous lift doc didn't lipo like he said he would. Thanks!
22 days post tummy tuck, liposuction of trunk and arms. About a week ago started developing an allergy like rash to tuck incision and at every liposuction incision. No pain, fever nor other sign of infection, only this super itchy rash. Currently on Benadryl and Bactrim as per PS , just to prevent any infection from developing.
Allergic to surgical tape so was glued (using dermabond?). Week 4 glued tape removed, ends of incision on both hip started itching and welting. Small blisters, spread to almost entire incision. Told to start moisturizing, got worse. Actual incision is fine...just alongside the top and bottom of it. PS put me on a 6day pack of prednisone and I switched from nivea to aveeno. I'm on day 4 meds now and areas seem less inflamed. Itching less intense. Any idea on why? And any advice? Thx in advance
I got a tummy tuck on 1/2019 and had a horrible rash after my drains were removed. After my rash stopped being bright red and stopped burning it became really dark and its been almost 4 months and shows no sign of leaving. Surgeon said he cant help me and dermatologists just want to give me steroids but they have not helped. Has anyone seen this before? My belly button is now turning the same color
Hi, I am scheduled for tummy tuck in 3 days. 2 days ago I waxed my bikini and get pretty bad rash and sweeling after that. Now is a little better but there is still rash, swelling and some of pimples. Can a doctor cancel my surgery in that case? Thank you@
I had gastric bypass surgery in Sweden 2 year ago. I had complication like abdominal hernia. I had lot of rash difficulty to clean my self back pain and my primary doctor told me probably lot skin in my belly. I'm very sure you the perfect doctor to help me. I had Tricare insurance they told me if the necessary surgery because the problem affect my everyday life. Maybe can cover?
I had a tummy tuck 1/14/19, after they removed my drains I started to get very itchy on each side of my stomach. I did not itch it and then I started to get a rash (1/22/19) which has become extremely red and now turning dark red almost purple. My surgeon has me on Methylprednisolone 4mg 21 tablets. I have about 2 left and have not seen any improvement. My surgeon and the urgent care stated it is dermatitis caused by an allergic reaction. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to cure it?
I am almost 7 weeks post op (TT, Lipo, Reduction). I've been released from wearing compression garment but I am larger in my stomach than before surgery, even though I've lost about 10 lbs. I am hoping there is still a significant amount of swelling because I am way less hourglass shaped and am about 2 inches larger in my waist than before surgery. I wanted to start working out again but the doctor wont release me to sweat b/c i either have heat rash or Im allergic to sutures. Advice needed.
I live in Huntsville Alabama. My stomach sit over my private area. Under the flat it has odor and sometimes get bumps or rashes. Is there a plastic surgery school in the south that offers a discounted tummy tuck
