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.
Hello, I was wondering if I will need a revision to correct my belly button after a TT. Ive been wearing a belly button shaper for months and when I take it out to shower my belly button looks absolutely perfect and natural . The problem is that in about 3-4 hours it completely closes and looks like a slit. I need an honest answer as to whether this will resolve and if not how can it be fixed ?
Hello, Im 56 and I had a tummy tuck (and breast implants) in 2002 (23 years ago) - over the past 10 years Ive managed to put on 80 pounds (thanks menopause) but now Ive lost 50 and still continuing to lose. However - my mid section refuses to budge and now Im left once again with wrinkly skin. My initial thoughts are Id like to have my breast implants removed and have a lift - which Ive heard of reverse tummy tuck and it seems that when I pull my skin upwards (from under breast) that gets rid of all these wrinkles. Im disgusted that I gained 80 lbs in the first place, Im glad Ive lost weight and intend to keep it off, but now Im even further disgusted that Ive went through all the pain of the tummy tuck originally and paid an exorbitant price and now Im all wrinkly again Im posting some pics - the one where its a side by side the beautiful pic was over 10 years post tummy tuck but right before the weight gain and menopause . The others are at my current weight loss (of 50 lbs) need some help .
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?
Hi, I had full tummy tuck last November. Recently, I have been feeling sore on my epigastric, even more sore when I touched it. It felt like ball underneath my skin. I went for ultrasound check, it showed blood flow in two areas. Then I went to see my plastic surgeon for examination. She felt it and said its suture. A I suppose to feel like this forever? Its hurting and bothering me.
My muscles were too tightly bound during my tummy tuck 6 years ago. I hate it. My lifestyle has completely changed because of it. It affects how I dress, my exercise, my sex life, my leisure, my driving... everything. My abdominal muscles cramp & knot at the slightest movements & postures. I can't cuddle up w/ a book, I can't sit in the same position too long, I can't do yoga or Pilates like I used to, I can't twist while sitting in an auditorium. How do I get help?
