Mummy makeover post surgery complications nearly 2 years on
May 29, 2024
Asked By:Sociable512542 in Greenfield, Wales, United Kingdom
I had a mummy makeover completed in Istanbul nearly 2 years ago. I developed a severe infection in my breast incision and had to have further surgery 6 weeks later as a result. I have had issues with my tummy tuck though. This has been going on since I had it completed however, I thought with time and healing things would deminish. Will elaborate when someone is available to comment. I am in the UK and am now being refferrd for investigations -(I.E ultrasound).
