I had my surgery on July 11 .. A full tummy tuck .. I feel I been botched am I over reacting .. Dr states that I'm still recovering and still swollen . My belly button is to low he said because supposedly my belly dint move .. Also he only perform lipo of the flanks .. He says if I loose 20 pounds I will start noticing the difference.. Please tell me if this is a good surgery or not
Answer: Botched tummy tuck? Not in my opinion... but seeing what you started with would help better allow others to judge your results from your procedure. As for the comment to lose weight, that seems a little insensitive and something that should have been discussed before your procedure as if you had the ability to lose weight, it should ALWAYS be done prior to any contouring procedures. Regardless, its always best to work your issues out with your surgeon as your surgeon should share your desires for the best outcome possible as your results reflect his work and will impact his reputation for his skills. In my practice, my patients are all told to anticipate revisions if they seek perfect results.

Answer: Botched tummy tuck Hi, I don't think botched is the correct word. It does not appear that you have had any complications. It sounds like your expectations were, however, different from what your results are. It really does take several months for all of the swelling to resolve. I recommend a healthy diet and exercise in the meantime. If you have diet resistant fat rolls then you may be a good candidate for liposuction to get further contouring. Good luck!
