My surgery is next week and I’m spiraling a bit with anxiety. When I was first doing consults, first surgeon said to do umbilical float TT due to lack of skin. Second one thought full TT with vertical scar for old bb was better. I went with the second one since he was a better fit and more experienced with TT’s specifically. I had my preop last week and he reevaluated me and now after stopping breastfeeding and more time in the gym, and thinks the umbilical float would be better, since my vertical scar would be right under my new bb, aka impossible to hide. He said I’m the rare, perfect candidate for umbilical float with minimal upper belly skin, high natural bb and need full muscle repair after twins. I’m nervous because it seems like women often aren’t happy after the umbilical float due to the risk of a too low bb. Thoughts?
