2 weeks post-op. Hi. I’m concerned about the enlargement of my areola, bad burn to the inside of my knee, nipples don’t look realigned, tummy scar looks like my stomach is ledged upon it. Swelling going down slowly but I’m concerned my tummy actually looks fatter and is going to hang more than pre op. It’s tricky because I am in the uk and my surgeon is in Greece so I feel quite alone. I’ve told none of my family I’ve had this work done so I’m feeling quite isolated and concerned. My PS is on call on WhatsApp

Answer: Is this normal after breast lift/implants, Vaser Hi Def Lipo on tummy, thighs, flanks, back, and tummy tuck? Even though you're quite early post-op, it appears that you did not have full Tummy tuck but instead you had a mini. From your pre-op photo- I would have not offered a mini tummy tuck- as it is not going to provide the best results as the full TT would. Also, when you have larger implants- the quality of lift is compromised. All of these issues needed to be discussed pre-operatively with your chosen Operating Surgeon. The burns need to be addressed , contact your Surgeon ASAP.

Answer: Problems two weeks after surgery You indicate that you had augmentation mastopexy, abdominoplasty, and extensive liposution. This is a great deal of surgery to have done at one setting with significantly higher risks of complications. In my opinion, it is unwise to undergo this extensive amount of surgery and not be able to receive adequate followup from your surgeon. At this point, I would recommend making an appointment with a local surgeon as soon as possible to evaluate your concerns .

Answer: Mommy Makeover Recovery crazysu. I appreciate your concerns and dilemma and I am afraid yours is just another case of why cosmetic tourism is a bad idea in my opinion. Having your doctor so far away makes it difficult and stressful during the recovery period, especially when there are issues after surgery. Other than the burns from the Liposuction, which do require daily wound care, the rest of your issues should subside as swelling goes down. Full recovery can take as long as 4 to 6 months. I recommend that you try to see a board-certified plastic surgeon in the UK to treat burns and address any other issues. Good luck.
