Looking for a plastic surgeon who can snatch my waist -- any suggestions? (Photos)

D
Dontknow101Jan 30, 2018

21 y0. 5 ‘0ft 113lbs 15 months po c-section w/ first child. When I first posted on here I was 127lbs and 4 months po. and now I can truly say I am happy to have waited to lose the weight to continue on with surgery to see best results. I want the tiniest waist I can get, Lipo to the back and sides and a pretty belly button, still looking for a plastic surgeon I went to one at 4 months pp and the price was too high and I didn’t click with the surgeon. I’ve been on RS for over a year and have some surgeons saved that are in my price range and are top doctors!

Thank you for your question.  It appears that you have severe contour irregularity on the abdomen and hips following the liposuction.  A tummy tuck will not likely help much unless your skin is very elastic (and this is hard to tell from the photo.)  Depending on the liposuction...

Thanks for the question. Yes, you can get a BBL and tummy tuck at the same time. But first of all you need to lose some more kilos. After you lose kilos, you should meeting with a Board Certified Surgeon and planning the process. After planning, everything will be better. I wish you all the best.

As the other doctors have said this could certainly be a stitch which has worked its way to the surface and be a stitch abscess. However I notice that you have raised hypertrophic (even possibly keloid) scar formation. I would recommend a course of steroid injections to have flatten these scars....

I'm 10 days post op. I had lipo and Tummy tuck and I already had lymphedema in one leg before my surgery. Swelling options?

If the swelling is only one leg and significant, you must contact your plastic surgeon to be assessed. This could be a blood clot which is more risky in someone with baseline lymphedema.Best of luck!

I think the answer to this question really depeds on what type of support you have at home from friends and family.  If you have somebody to help you at home, I do not think you would need any time at a recovery-type facility.  It would be helpful to have somebody to help with...
