I can't help but compare & notice how pretty some scars and tummys look at 3 wks post op compared to mine! One side looks like excess skin hanging out, the other isn't straight BRUISED 2 wks later & the front is swollen & from incision, down, it drops like a ledge, not flat at all! AND I have a crazy indent/cave in on my pubic area. Dr says its a suture & clains EVERYTHING is alright & will clear up & smooth out. I want another doctors opinion. Please. Because I regret this & want peace of mind.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Results
Three weeks after surgery is still early to make judgments about your scars. They will continue to improve with time. Also, it is difficult to make too many comments without seeing pictures. Make sure you are clear to your surgeon about your concerns.

Answer: Unhappy with tummy tuck result
I am sorry to hear about your experiences. It would be helpful to see a photo of your result. In any case, if you are truly unhappy and not trusting your surgeon then seeking a second opinion from a reputable plastic surgeon is fine and may give unbiased opinion. Most of the time, I always recommend that patients follow up with their surgeon on a regular basis, especially early in the postoperative period. As far as final result is concerned, you should wait at least 3 months and allow all the swelling and edema to subside before making final judgement.
Best wishes,
