I had a TT 15 yrs. ago (age 32). I weigh 10 lbs less now than when I had the procedure. When I was about 38-40 I did alot of heavy fitness routines-& had weighed about 30 lbs less-but gained 20 back by now (plus age). I have a pooch that developed & is a small apron- I went to my primary care who said its just accumulated fat (which I thought could not come back in areas that were lipo'd) but my belly is as big as it was 15 years ago. Do I need another tuck ? or?
I had a tummy tuck with muscle plication and full body lipo contouring 15 years ago - the results are wonderful. However, 15 years later and I still have a flat stomach but my abdominal wall is very uncomfortable - feels stretched and like my muscles are sitting on my hip bones and pushed under my ribs. Tired of being uncomfortable all the time and investigating options - what could cause this? I have gained 10-15 pound since procedure.
17 years ago I had a tummy tuck. A week ago I was showering and I always wash the inside of my belly button. Two days later, I noticed my belly button is seeping a yellowish green fluid. Not much but it's gross. I gently clean and cover it to protect my clothing but it's been a week now. Is there anything else that I can do without having to go see a specialist?
I had a tummy tuck about 15 years ago & now I am getting a burning and pulling pain in my abdominal area down there when I go to get up or when I go to lift something up. Has my tummy tuck come undone? Where should I go? What kind of Dr? Will my insurance pay for a repair of a torn tummy tuck? Help please!
I had a tummy tuck about 16 years ago with excellent results. Last year I tripped and fell very hard flat on my stomach. A couple of months later, I noticed a bulge near my belly button which came out and went back in. I now feel swollen and get that uncomfortable tight, pulling feeling I had immediately after the surgery. Is it possible that I tore the sutures and ruined the surgery? I was checked for a hernia and the Doctor said he doesn't think I have one.
15 years ago I had an abdominoplasty. right afterwards i had bronchitis and literally 'coughed' my belly button scar free from the stalk (?) . Is this a problem as i occasionally have pain there and my belly is convex instead of pulled in at that point? I miss my belly button as i have just a scar there that doesn't pull in at all - and what happened to the inside part of my belly button? It was cute before surgery...and it looked good after surgery...until it separated from my insides.
