Would I be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck? I also need minor abdominal muscle and umbilical hernia repair. Trying to go for the quickest recovery and littlest scar with best results. I am done having kids, I am fit and trim, 5'5, 120# and at my ideal weight.
Is an umbilical hernia able to be repaired during a mini abdominoplasty? Is the umbilicus able to be preserved if an umbilical hernia is repaired during a mini abdominoplasty or should it be repaired separately via laparoscopic surgery instead?
What would be m best option. I had small umbilical hernia when these were taken, but has since been repaired, however still a lot of extra skin up there. I am looking for a solution to the sagging skin particularly above my belly button. Ive been recommended a mini, one dr said I would be left with the T scar. Another recommended a mini w/ floating belly button. Is there anyway to just cut the skin off like a surgeon would do an areola lift? Advice appreciated!
I got a TT 12/15 w/an umbilical hernia repair(due to twins) by a cert PS. I wanted a full but he claimed I was too thin. I am almost 5 8 And weigh around 120 lbs. Within 5 1/2 weeks my umbical hernia reappeared so he redid the surgery. The second time I lost my belly button and theres a bugle around it with stitching scars. Within weeks of that I have another hernia about an inch or so above the belles button area. The bigger problem is I have very loose wrinkly skin above the belly button.
Will doctors be able to use my csec scar, I dont want to have two scars and end up looking like Frankenstein. I have 2 small kids that I still carry around, how long is the recovery and how painful? Im allergic to nsaids so all the good painkillers/anti inflammatory drugs are unavailable to me.
I am 47, 2 kids (9 &12). Fairly active. Have diastasis recti and umbilical hernia. 2 c-sections. I currently weigh 116 and am 52 I am looking into getting a tummy tuck. Is it necessary to do this to achieve the flat stomach or can I try another procedure to tighten the stomach area (having my umbilical hernia repaired fist)like Vasor lipo or something less invasive than a tummy tuck? Also, would a mini tummy tuck apply as well or a full tummy tuck is my only option?
I am a female, age 33 and have had 2 children naturally, I have an umbilical hernia and some minimal loose skin , I want to know if I can get the hernia repaired and some non surgical skin tightening or would I need to have some form of tummy tuck?
Please help. 15 weeks ago I had mini abdominoplasty, with DR repair and umbilical hernia repair. Loved my innie afterwards, but now it seems to become a outie again? Changes happened over the last week or so. I was very careful during my recovery and only started light exercises two weeks ago. What can be the cause of this change and will it be possible to do revision under local anesthesia?
