Can a TT scar be fixed without general anesthesia? Shouldn't my PS fix this for me? How long to wait? (photos)

I had a TT and BBL 5/23/19. I was immediately concerned after Surgery because he had injected fat into the back of my legs (saddle bags)we did not discuss this and I was very upset. After a few days I noticed my incision was VERY crooked. He said it was probably due to swelling and would look better as swelling subsided. Well it actually looks worse. I cant even hide it with my underwear on the right side. I asked him about it and he denied it even being crooked! I am distraught over this!

There is no efficient treatment for stretch marks unfortunately. There are occasional reports of success with laser treatment but that seem not to be as satisfactory as we would like. I am afraid that in a process of skin expansion (if it would be possible to such an extent in abdominal area) ...

Dear nanstewart, every surgeon has a revision policy. Many involve reduced or even no fees for the surgeon (depending on the situation) while the patient may still be responsible for facility (the use of the operating room, staff, and supplies) and anesthesia fees. Best to go back to your...

Do not worry about your final result just yet because it is too soon to tell what your final outcome will be. The swelling can last up to a year.  You might be a good candidate for BodyTite which does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues.  It can be com...
