My c section scar was indented with an overhang and I had diastasis. I went to a board certified ps who suggested a mini tuck. I asked for a full and was told I didnt have enough skin. I was concerned about the muscles above my belly button and was told they werent lax enough to be an issue. 1 week post and Im deformed. My belly button is low, below it is sunk in unnaturally indented, the scar high. The area above my belly button is huge and bulging! Am I freaking out too early, What can I do?
Answer: Mini TT regret Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your surgery result. I would recommend talking to your surgeon about your concerns. Often over time the shape will continue to change so hopefully you will continue to see improvement.

Answer: Abdomen You did not post photos, so I suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing all of your concerns. At one week, you do have swelling. However, you need to be checked to make sure you do not have a collection of fluid.

Answer: One week post op I know it's hard to be patient but more time is needed. You are very early in your recovery. Swelling is normal and expected at this time. It will be several months before you see your final results and can expect changes along the way as your body heals. Continue to follow your surgeon's post op instructions and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck options Usually patients ask for a mini when what they need is a full tummy tuck, so your surgeon must have had a good reason to steer you in that direction. It is very early in your recovery, and it is normal to experience a bit of an emotional roller coaster at this stage. A mini can include a full muscle repair using the umbilical float technique. Without details of your procedure it is not possible to offer specific advice other than to be patient and keep in contact with your surgeon.
