On #1 abdominoplasty, I expected a full abdominoplasty w/MR, new belly button.. but all the surgeon did was pull everything down so my wrinkled belly button was still there but lower and I had a crevice between my belly button and my incision, looked like a butt crack in front. #2 surgery to fix the crevice and smooth it out but basically redid abdominoplasty w/MR. Stomach feels like my guts are crammed up under my breasts and sewed into place. At hysterectomy, GYN said I had metal staples in there?? When I have bloating, I bloat up under my breasts.
After two tummy tuck surgeries, it still doesn't feel right. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Answer: Looking for tummy tuck #3? Not the answer.
IT appears that you may need to undergo some muscle re-education and I would strongly encourage you to undertake a regimen of core strengthening exercises such as a Pilates type program.

Answer: Abdominoplasty satisfaction
Abdominoplasty is one of the most sought after surgeries in plastics with one of the highest rates of patient satisfaction. The best odds of achieving a great result are at the time of the primary procedure. When revision or secondary work is involved it is complicated by scarring and altered anatomy. Thus, it is extremely difficult to achieve excellent results. Nevertheless, there is still hope that you can achieve your goals. It would be wise to seek the advice of one or many board certified plastic surgeons. You have had multiple procedures, and, if another is necessary, the hope is, it will be your final one. Ideally, you can take your time and find a physician to explain the options and, hopefully, create the results you seek.
