Tummy Tuck Revision Success - PO 7 weeks w/pics

Thanks! Scarquard MD.

no doubt that your incision will improve. With time things will definitely settle in and your true shape will come out. It takes at least a good year to see the final result. I can't really say at what point did I know I wanted a revision. I don't think I knew it was possible until at least a couple years afterward. I think initially I just dealt with my results because I was happy that I didn't look the same, I had a flatter stomach and a smaller waistline. I was disappointed that I still had stretch marks after surgery. I just tried to work with it. But it wasn't until everything healed that I was able to see my true result which was a year later. I didn't like how my scar healed. I didn't like the dog ears, I didn't like my belly button and I didn't like how my skin pulled up higher on 1 side. I dealt with it all for 3 years trying to convince myself that i did look better overall. However after I reached the 4th Year I couldn't take it any longer and I decided something had to be done. I was going to find a surgeon that could give me what I really wanted in the first place. Once I found a surgeon that was experienced in revisions i did a lot of research on him. The second time around wasn't as bad because I didn't have extensive MR which makes a huge difference and I knew what to expect. The second time around I was prepared for everything which helped make the experience better. One thing I really appreciated this time was that many PS did not put my drains in my Mons Pubis area. He put them on my hips! HuGE difference, lol. After about a year, you will definitely know if you want a revision! Maybe sooner, but you will need to give your body time to heal from the first surgery.

HI island girl, yes I do have a local MD that I can go to if I have any issues. I stayed in California almost 10 days. It was so close to Christmas I couldn't afford to stay long because I have children. When I went to Dr. Younai he didn't say anything about the other surgeons work, what he addressed were just all of my concerns about how poorly my results turned out and all that I wanted fixed. He seem to know what I wanted before I could really even tell him. I guess he saw the work from the other surgeon and what he didn't do. He assured me that I would have a much better outcome this time around. I guess he could see from the results what he was capable of doing from what he had left to work with. Since he specialized in revisions, I guess he was really confident going in that I would have a much better out come then the first TT. It was kinda like he did everything that should have been done the first time around.

I had the whole TT process redone, including liposuction. My scar was lowered and my BB was redone. My results were worth every penny :-)

Thank you much....it was such a journey getting here! It was all worth it!
