6 Months Post Op and I Still Feel DIZZY, What Should I Do?

Question

Hello doctors, I am 6 months down a seemingly successful mini TT except for the fact that I developed quite abit of scar tissue which they say is not super common and may require revision. Anyway, I had surgery April 19 and struggled with weakness and dizzyness for 5 weeks after that. It was pretty intense and I couldn't work. I then got (well enough) to try go back to my regular life! But since then until today I have a constant head tension, I'm constantly dizzy. Especially when walking around

It is unlikely your dizziness is related to your surgery so long after the procedure. You should see your primary care doctor or internal medicine doctor. If you don't have one or can't get an appointment, a trip to the ER is warranted to help you figure out why you feel this way. Best wishes.

Please see your GP. You should get a physical examination to see what's going on. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of surgery or totally unrelated. Best of luck.

Consult with your primary physician for an evaluation. Anything is possible, but it is difficult to imagine a connection between a TT and the symptoms you are having this far out from your surgery.

	All the best.

It is unlikely that you mini tummy tuck is related to your dizziness at this far out. Best to see your  medical doctor for a proper evaluation.

This requires medical attention.  Please followup with your plastic surgeon and family physician or internist for an evaluation.
