Posted to Will my Scar Ever Be Smooth out Evenly? - Mclean, VA on 23 Dec 2012

the swelling is normal . . . Even at 6 months out almost I still get crazy swollen at times, especially when I am sick. I know you have had a lot of issues with the surgery so I cant tell you if the swelling is excessive b/c of the issues or just the surgery yourself.

I am sorry, but it looks like you were someone who at some point lost a significant amount of weight and then hat a TT done. I have seen the bunching to this extent in people who have had a lot of weight loss. Being smaller myself I had a little bit of rippling, but it went away after a few weeks and the swelling went down. Its one thing to have the rippling near the incision, but I dont think its too normal to have it that high up. I would get a second opinion from another surgeon.

Dr. Cochran will do a good job. I know many people who have used him for various procedures ha ha including myself. Everyone that I met from his staff is pretty nice too.
