I had a tummy tuck in Dec 2021. At 10.5 months post-op, I am 95% thrilled with the results. I have been treating my scar with silicone tape and I also massage the area often. My scar is mostly invisible, except for the area pictured. What can I do to improve the appearance of this section of my scar? I'm particularly concerned with the raised/red area. Thank you!
Tummy tuck Jan. 24. 4 wks later, 7.5 of incision burst open. Since then, large seroma has reduced fr 40-60ccs/day to 7ccs/day, then restarted @ 40-60ccs/day. Now on 3rd instance, very bloody, increasing vol. 30 aspirations so far. U/S and CT scan show nothing. Doctor says other MDs havent seen & nothing relevant in med lit. Now saying IR-inserted drain, then sclerosing, then surgery. Cases like mine? Advice re treatment? Long-term harm possib? MD wrong in lack of urgency and treatment?
Why my full tummy tuck incision line area feel hard? My both sides of incision line feel normal and have nerve sensation w thin line. But my mid incision line is dark color but feel hard on the area, not much sensation are back yet. Im 10 months post op
I have a bulge in my lower abdomen that's worse on my right side. My PCP sent me to get a CT scan but it doesn't show anything abnormal. I'm so confused what's going on wit my lower abdomen this far out after surgery?
10 months since I had a full tummy tuck and liposuction only on my flanks. I am unhappy with the results due to the lines and unevenness of my skin. My stomach is soft and there are no hard areas. My surgeons conclusion is that the lines are a strange result from the small cannula used to insert anesthetic during the procedure. He has offered to try to correct it, but admits I could be left with a worse result. What options are there and are they likely to leave a smooth result.
I am female, hispanic, 45 years old. I am concerned with my surgery. I was expecting to be more flat with no belly. I am still super swollen. My surgeon says I am bloated. I don't think people should be bloated and look like this after a mayor tummy tuck and lipo. Please let me know what you think? I still going to be swollen for more time?? Or is my swelling going to come down?
