Had a tummy tuck 2 years ago. IMy hips seem to have extra fat/ skin and seem uneven. Do I have dog ears?? opted not to have belly button surgery due to keloid in the past. But now Im ready to have belly button surgery Can this revision of my waist/ hips and belly button be done in office under local or do I have to be put under and have procedures done in OR?
Last November 2023, I had 360 lipo and abdominal plastic surgery. since then I was hoping the pain would subside and the bulge/swelling will go down. I wore compression as asked 4 weeks only he said but there was still lots of swelling so i still wore at nights. The pain comes from across my back towards right side all the way to the incision. Tightness pulling dull pain as if the muscles are moving. I tried lymphatic, massages, self massages, vits&minerals. I will appreciate any information.
A month after a tummy tuck by a plastic surgeon in another state, I developed a seroma and staf infection. I was too unwell to travel back to my original surgeon so I was operated on by a general surgeon at my local hospital. My new scar has pulled higher and is stuck down and creating a big legde above. My plastic surgeon said that he can perform a scar revision on the section that was opened up, to pull the skin back down. Do you think by my pics that i could get an ok result? Right now it's very ugly and upsetting that i waited 18 years for this tummy tuck and it went so badly.
I am a 38 y.o. Female who underwent tummy tuck with hernia repair, while removing fibroids. However, i did not have the option to include lipo. I have an area that has scarring from after the procedure. Will lipo help this or how do i go about correcting it, since its a small area?
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 8 months ago, and recovery has been great, expect for now (8 months later) that my belly button is draining a little bit of fluid that doesn't smell that great, im scared!
I have quite a few vertical lines accross my incision where i saw external stitches were placed. Its left very unsightly scars and i hae not seen this on other people are looking at many before and afters. Why did this happen? Also I still have loose skin which im very sad about i thought that would be fixed after th tummy tuck.
