Im 60, 51, 110lps. Had TT 12-27-23.I pd for full TT.Find out mths later it was only lower abdomen.Dr said that I didnt have enough skin.High scar, hip to hip. Incision & bellybutton not healed right.Dr did lipo on me 4-16-19.Never told me about getting dogears. Have two large dogears he said that he did all he could for me & will not do anything else. He did lower abdomen,lipo & supposedly did lower muscles. Didnt do flanks or back. I pd him for a full TT 9 mths in advance. I had a suture in my leg for two mths, my sister had to remove it. I kept telling him that my bellybutton was really hurting. He said it was fine.I requested all my records from him. As I was reading them I seen that he was treating my bellybutton all along when I went to his office.Then I noticed he had taken 12 sets of pictures through the mths. I only received three sets of pictures. I have a large gap in dates.I called him for missing infor havent heard back from them. He is hiding notes and pics from me.He wanted to do lipo again in 2020.I paid him to do the lipo.I kept thinking about it & moving the surgery date.I told him I wasn't going to do lipo again.He then told me that I would be much happier getting a full TT versus more lipo.The Iast time I was in his office is when I found out he only did the lower abdomen.I just need someone to please help me!Can I do a revision TT on upper abdomen,muscles,flanks & back??Can anyone please advise me on what to do? SO DEPRESSED
I am 58 years old. 51 tall and weigh 107 pounds. I am so depressed I dont go out. I cant believe he left me with these big bulges on my sides and back. And left me with this large scar. He said I did not have enough skin to do a full tummy tuck even though I paid for a full tummy tuck. Also my bellybutton and sides hurt all the time. I put shorts on and everything is so sensitive I have to take them off. I dont know what to do. I look so awful!!
I had a TT with MR of the lower abdomen and lipo of the flanks. I had a mild diastasis recti of the upper abdomen but PS decided not to repair. I now have an upper abdominal bulge. He wants to go back through the same scar to access the upper abdomen to repair the DR. The thought of doing this all over again makes me nauseous. Is there any other way?
I am 5 months post surgery I had a Brazilian tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and upper abdomen here in the uk with a certified surgeon. I am not happy with my lower abdomen it is not flat. I have been numerous times to my surgeon and at my last visit he had a good feel and has ruled out complications. He says its skin and some fat that if I lose weight I should go flat. I really didnt want to lose more weight as I look too skinny everywhere else. Do u think its botched ?
I had a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks October 2021. Every post op i expressed concerns of bulkiness at the end of the incisions on each side. I was told repeatedly that it was just swelling and to give it time. 2 years post op, still the same issue my a flap of skin hangs over the incision. My surgeon is telling me I need a hip flip ($3k) What should I do? I just want to be comfortable in my own skin!
I had a tummy tuck with lipo in summer 2022, then had lipo of flanks and back in spring 2023. I originally believed the flanks would be done during the tummy tuck and I wasn't concerned about the bra line at the time. I feel like I look the same, minus the saggy skin. I am not sure if I have dog ears? I see others on here with the same concern and similar result and their revisions look fantastic and what I was hoping to get the first time. Is it me or the tummy tuck that's the issue?
I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo of the flanks in July 2019, but am very dissatisfied with results and want a revision. My left lower abdomen has much more fat and skin than the right side. I have excess skin and fat on both sides. I hate my hypertrophic scar. I have excess skin in my mid abdomen I can easily pull. I have dog ears, and excess skin/fat around torso, love handles, and back. I want a tight/trim torso with taut skin. I'm 33, male, muscular build, weight lifter/healthy lifestyle.
7 months post TT & MR. Wanted flank lipo but surgeon wouldnt & promised a flat belly. I exercise 6 days/week, mostly strength training. Lower pooch is hard and uncomfortable. Surgeon says its better than pre op but my clothes are tighter now. Is this something that can be fixed? I spent so much and truly unhappy. Im 5 feet 132 lbs. Lower pooch is hard and uncomfortable. Would simple scar rev fix this?
