Asked By:Sincere5808 in Ohio, OH

I had arm lift and TT 5/16 and wondering why my PS left me with a Y incision at my armpit and didn't make it straight into my armpit? It looks like if he would've made a single line I would have less loose skin at the top of my arm. Is there a reason for the Y? My tummy is left with alot of loose skin and right side is bigger as well as a puffy pubic area. I have addressed my PS with TT but he doesn't seem concerned. Not sure if this is my end result or if I need to be patient but I'm not too happy.

Can a TT scar be fixed without general anesthesia? Shouldn't my PS fix this for me? How long to wait? (photos)
Kenneth Hughes, MD says:

Folds and creases are not uncommon after a TT in certain individuals because swelling figures prominently in the post operative period.   Now that you are about two months post TT, they should be less noticeable.  Be patient and continue to follow up with your PS.  Wait at least six months to as...
