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.
I had an extended tummy tuck 3/18. I foolishly asked my surgeon to not do the muscle plication but he did end up doing a few stitches below the navel. I'm happy with my tummy from the front, though I'd like a more hourglass shape. I am not happy with the way my lower tummy sticks out from the side and wish i looked less thick. When i lean back it looks perfect. What causes my round lower tummy and what, if anything, can i have done to make me look as i do leaning back?
Currently 9m PO ETT. I still have excess skin & multiple cyst/abscess &swelling. Ive Had 29 messages since surgery & compressed ritually, still the cyst are growing & rupture after a few weeks (4 remaining, 2 previously ruptured). Ive seen several dr. As my original dr. is non responsive but no one knows the cause. I am seeking tummy tuck revision to find out whats going on since general surgeons have no clue. Wondering if anyone has experience or can help with revision?
Im 35, 12/21/20 had mini TT with umbilical float, umbilical hernia repair and lower abdominal muscle repair with mesh (I was not aware of the mesh application prior to sx). I did not have much muscle separation prior to surgery and my stomach was flat with just lose skin. Post surgery I now have a hard and tight pot belly that protrudes forward like a platform or shelf. My belly button sits on this and also sticks out. Could the muscle repair with mesh be the culprit and could it be removed?
Im 35, 53, 120lbs. I had a mini TT, with lower muscle repair, and umbilical float. I am 9mpo and my stomach is hard and bulges more now than my skin laxity did before surgery. I dont fit comfortably in my clothes Bc of the large pot belly Im left with. Are there any options to resolve my concerns?
Hi, its been 9 months after a full tt and Luso of the back and now it seems that Im gain fat back in the tummy and I now have to suck in my tummy so I wont look 4-5 months pregnant which I am for sure not. At this point in my recovery, the swelling is down and Im supposed to be enjoying my new look after 4 c-sec delivery and Im so bummed and it affecting me emotionally and mentally. Pls what should I do?
