I am a 42 year old woman who is almost 7 months post op from my "full tummy tuck" and breast augmentation at least thats what I paid for, I am trying to figure out what might have happened/gone wrong here. I cant fit any of my clothes that I could before the surgery. I have not gained in fact I have lost weight. My L breast has sharp pains in the scar and my R implant is in there backwards. I have numbness, tingling,burning throughout my abdomen still and pain when l lift anything.
Answer: Tummy tuck breast augmentation results Based on your preop photos, you had a pretty significant rectus diastasis (muscle separation) in your abdomen and breast sagging. You less than ideal tummy tuck results may be due to inadequate muscle tightening or it is also possible that you had a significant amount of visceral fat ( internal abdominal fat that's grounds your organs). Visceral fat can't be addressed surgically. Only weight loss will reduce it.Regarding your breast augmentation results, it seems that you would have benefited from a breast lift at the same time or before the implants were placed. I recommend you voice your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Surgery Your tuck was able to tighten your abdomen a good bit. It will not remove excess internal fat. Your breasts were augmented but not lifted. An examination is needed to see how your implants are sitting. With smooth implants, it is no problem if the implants flips. You will have permanent numbness in your abdomen from the tuck. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
