I had a tummy tuck and 360 lipo two years ago. One year ago I had a revision surgery to eliminate a raised vertical line above my navel resulting in a long crease from my navel up. Can this be corrected to show a smooth tummy as I never had issue with above my navel. If so, how?
I had a tummy tuck performed on 4/22/19. I am very worried that something is going on. I have wen compression garments 24/7 but continue to have a fullness in my belly. I also have a vertical line that extends above belly button and also bellow the belly button. PS thinks that lipo will solve the bulge and vertical line. After viewing many TT pics, I havent seen one that looks like mine! Any ideas as to what is causing bulge and vertical line?
Im one day post op (I know, very early). When I looked down I was really upset as it doesnt look like most other after pictures. Theirs lots of creasing near the scar? Dr said this will go in time but Im not sure if this is true. Theirs a stitch above the new belly button, will this go? I had Lipo and tummy tuck and wanted to achieve a flat stomach.
I had a tummy tuck on 2/25 and I dont how to feel about the results. I have deep vertical lines on my incision where the PS says is quilted stitches and once the dissolve they will go away. Also I have a darken, hard area above my incision. My PS says that it doesnt look infected and it was a result of sensitivity from steri-strips, but I am super concerned.
I am 4 weeks after my tummy tuck and I have seen some great results so far. However, I just took the binder off today to reveal a vertical mark which wasnt there this morning. I have had a slight tingling sensation during the day and now I have what looks like an inverted (not raised) stretch party vertically from just below the incision to virtually my chest. I have tried searching on here and not found anything similar - what could this be and will it go away?
I had a TT 8 days ago. I had my first compression garment removed and I could see there was very thin tight skin above and below my naval that appeared slightly blue in color. The next day it looked dark and red and even had very fine scabs. Im worried its a huge stretch mark or the color wont fade. I dont see many other people asking about this. Im very concerned. Perhaps I stood too straight?
I am 6 weeks post op full tummy tuck. My incision is pretty well healed but I'm noticing these streaks going up and down along the incision. Everywhere there is significant discoloration, I can feel a lump under the skin. I had spitting stitches on my breast and I have the same discoloration where the stitches were/are. So I'm wondering if this is a reaction to the sutures? Why would the discoloration be getting worse? Would silicone help with discoloration?
