I had a tummy tuck 6 months ago with muscle repair. I am not completely happy with my belly button. It is quite large, at least the size of my thumb print . When i stand straight it gets very tight in that area because it is the strongest point of tension from the incision scar below. In fact, when i slouch vs stand straight, it completely changes shape by enlongating and becoming flat insid. Im wondering if there is a revision to reduce the size if it already too large.
30, afab, Agender. I had a single incision laparoscopic surgery to remove an ovarian tumor 19 days ago. I know its still early but Im really unhappy with how my belly button looks now. Not only did the incision make it misshapen, I cant understand why my surgeon didnt cut along the natural contour to hide the scar better. Will it go back to how it was or can it be fixed to its previous shape? Before and After pics:
I am thrilled with my surgeons work, except my bb. I wish she had concealed the incision inside rather than placing it so conspicuously around it, and the native stalk I feel has too much tissue, which causes it to look poofy inside. Should i request a revision? Is it even possible to improve it? Is there a certain technique I should discuss with her? I know with time the scar will fade but I'm not sure what to ask for or what is best.
I had my BB revised due to a TT. A 'cinch' type of revision was down. Last night I pulled something near my incision site (left side) and it felt like an elastic band snapping. I'm stressing out that I damaged the cinching sutures beneath the navel. Fearful that this will heal poorly. I'm 2 weeks post op, the site that was pulled stings and theres a dull ache. Has anyone been presented with a similar situation and what the results were.
I had a tummy tuck 4 years ago it was just skin removal my muscles were not tighten or stitched. A week post op I had my incision open and I had to go back in to close it. A week later my BB started closing I had a revision as well The skin around my BB is really thin, I can see the veins through that part of the skin, it looks like it has a lot of tiny stretch marks around it My dr said it happened because I was allergic to the stitches I want it fixed but I do not want to make the scar worse
I have had a mini tummy tuck 2 months ago, my muscles were supp to be tightened all the way as infmd before surgery but my upper ab muscles were not, they are still lax especially when sitting or bending down. my ps attempted to but as my skin was too thin from previous vaser lipo with another surgeon, my ps didn't manage Tighten them. Am now considering an umbilicoplasty to correct my belly button and hopefully repair the upper ab muscles as well. Thanks in advance for any advise.
