Asked By:Trin74

I'm feeling stressed and nervous that my TT and MR was all for nothing. I had my surgery on 12/6. The morning of, the PS told me he couldn't make the line lower because of no fat in the bikini area. Did that cause him not to pull the skin down further? My goal was to remove the access skin.He also told me I a Hernia and that he repaired that too. Is it really too early to see that one side will be wrinkled or that both sides eventually will be wrinkled? Update: I was told I had a full TT with a midline repair. The day of surgery the PS told me that my horizontal incision needed to be higher because of no fat below. I was in no position to question him. Being 39, I shouldn't be scared to question, but I've been raised this way (sigh). My 1st pregnancy was 2001 & 2nd 2011. I wanted was the wrinkle skin gone & be TAUT! I thought that was going to happen? 3weeks PO I don't think my skin will change. My PS is Dr. Bahram Namdari. Too nervous to tell him. 2nd Update (added photos): I called the PS and expressed my concerns with PS secretary. She seemed to have empathy for me and told me she will talk with the PS about my concerns. Well, she called back and the PS advised that I need to wait and he doesn't need to see me for two months. And getting other opinions is useless. She said 3 weeks is not enough time to address my concerns. I have to wait 2 months. Extremely sad.
