Will a Third Tummy Tuck Surgery Be Necessary?

March 10, 2010
Asked By:deedaydreamer in Anon

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?
