I had tummy tuck procedure, 7 months ago, then I did fibroblast on the belly button and on the scar ten days ago.

Question

After I had totally healed now my entire stomach muscles hurting and my belly button looks very bad and the skin is very raw as if I just did tummy tuck procedure again. Is this normal

Thank you for sharing your question. Not sure what a fibroblast treatment would entail but best to see your provider to get the best advice.

Dear qwer123,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your question and photos.
A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia. A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton. However, a tummy tuck won't correct stretch marks outside of this area.
If you've previously had a C-section, your plastic surgeon might be able to incorporate your existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar.
A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery. If you've had fat removed from your abdomen (liposuction), you may decide to have a tummy tuck because liposuction removes tissue just under the skin and fat but not any excess

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Since you are experiencing discomfort and the area is raw I encourage you to contact the person you saw for your scar treatment.  The office should inform you of what is expected in terms of recovery and what to do if questions arise after treatment.
