I had a full TT 5 months ago I was 5'4 and weighed 123lbs. I workout and have a low-cal diet, I never had a fat stomach just separation of muscles and loose skin. I expected to look completely flat after my full TT with slight liposuction but its not, I still have a slight pouch. I told my PS and he said everyone will still have a slight pouch or they are sucking in. I am back working out but the change is not like I expected. No one can tell I had anything done and I am 120 lbs is this true?
My mons pubis is HUGE, It wasnt noticed prior to surgery, but I was told I received liposuction in that area during my tummy tuck. The more weight I lose, the worse it looks. I dont know what to do now, I feel like it should have been addressed during my TT, and lifted when the extra skin was removed. I dont know what to do now, to fix this? I also have knots/lumps all along my incision (under the skin). They are very painful. What could this be? I had surgery 2/25/2014.
Not happy with my belly button. Im just over 4 months post opt and my belly button is still dark. I also have a sunkin area on my hips. That is where my drains were placed on each hip so it looks sunk on both hips. My doctor knows my concern and I will express it more with him next week. He is open to revisions. It just sucks to have to have that done. There is also a spot on my incision on the left where he sutured it and when I stand up it looks like I have a dent in my incision about 3 inches. I already told my doctor.
Will the marble trick work? Packing with gauze? I dont want to wait until its too late to form an indentation. Silagen makes a silicone sphere for this purpose. Am I a candidate and when is it proper timing? Ive shared my concern repeatedly with my PS and hes taking a wait/see approach and said my abdomen just doesnt have any depth. It did before my TT though and I feel like the purpose was to be able to feel confident in swimwear. I feel like it looks horrible.
I had a tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair 6 months ago. My belly button, however, is flat, scar is prominent and it is in the shape of an upside down triangle. I was told by my surgeon that nothing can be done the scar can only be revised in a year. I am extremely unhappy about this and can't bare having anyone see my navel. Please advise on if anything can be done? I'm based in johannesburg, any surgeons who specialise in this procedure i could contact?
I am 6ft tall with hips that start high. I am 13 days post op. My scar is 2 inches above my old C-Section scar. My scar height was discussed with me twice prior but coming out of surgery it was about an inch higher than we discussed. I asked my doctor why this was and she told me she couldn't go any lower without risking wound separation. I'm happy with the contour but I'm unhappy with the scar height and how uneven it seems to look.
I paid for my TT and breast reduction all at the same time. I no longer want to use the surgeon that did my TT though, and haven't had the BR yet. I would like to get that portion of my money back from him, but I'm sure it can't be as easy as just asking. How do I get it back without causing a scene??
I'm 14 weeks post op tummy tuck and lipo to flanks. I feel that my flanks/love handles needed a bit more liposuction as I get a muffin top on the sides even in loose clothing. I'm so unhappy about it. Could it still be swelling. What could be done?
I have a recent post regarding dissappointed with mini tummy tuck results. Lower abd is bulging and rounded. Very disappointed. I have expressed my concerns and am going to see physician next week. I need to know what to say. When he told me initially that I would be good for a mini, I was very concerned and went back twice to make sure he was sure without insulting his professional opinion. I do not want to upset anyone but need to know how to get what I was hoping for?
