I was going to have full abdominoplasty but on day of surgery doctor insisted that I do mini tummy tuck with upper & lower muscle tightening.He explained that lower scar would be more pleasing & that we would not have to worry about belly button necrosis.Now I am 2 weeks post operation and I feel I made the wrong choice.Would umbilicoplasty be possible to create pleasing innie while excising 1 inch of loose skin to remove hernia scar & tighten skin around belly button?
Hi I am 13 days post miny tummy tuck I only had excess skin removed as my muscle one is old and I didn't require any lipo of any kind. I had the procedure done under local and evening went smoothly just wondering how long it I likely for any swelling to subside. My scar I healing well :)
I had a min tummy tuck 12 days ago. I was 122 (55) prior and had an hour glass shape. Now I am very fat and boxy looking. I also had muscle tightening and a little lipo on my flanks. I admit I have eaten more salt than I should. Is this normal and If I had muscle tightening, shouldnt my muscles feel very tight?
Hi doctors! Today makes 13 days post op for a mini TT. When I had my full TT I didnt get the drain removed until around 25 days post op. I can tell that I am draining a little less each day, but the darkness in hue is somewhat concerning. I got my hemoglobin checked yesterday and it has gone up 1.4 gdl in a week (I am also on my cycle) so I don't think I'm bleeding internally. Any idea what can be causing this?
Hello I am about two weeks PO tummy tuck, I was healing beautifully until over the weekend I had a terrible accident and was dragged by a car, I went to the ER and they checked everything I'm fine but the past few days my stomach has been full of fluid, I'm so nervous I think I may need to be drained, I called my surgeon the only problem is I live in CT and he's in Miami so it's really no help, I doubt the emergency room will help
