Well I feel so horrible by my wound opening up. I am 54 and when I when into surgery I was at my heaviest at 217. I had a BBL in December. So I decided I wanted to a breast lift and tummy tuck. I am 14 days post op. I did have a Hx of smoking but I quit last October. My abdomen looks round a swollen and I feel like my skin is so tight in my abdomen I will never be able to stand straight. I am feeling defeated as depressed. Tomorrow I have a follow up with my doctor
44yr mom of 3. Had weight loss surgery in 2015 highest weight 365, maintaining 215-210 for several years. Had consultation wanted Fleur de Lis but PS said no, said I would be happier with regular abdominoplasty and muscle repair results. 7mon PO. ln recovery he told husband I would need revision? I had partial hysterectomy at same time and he blames excess skin on that procedure at my one week FU appt. He has seen me 1X after surgery. He said 6lb skin removed, lower abdomen only. Ask for refund?
I am 5'9 an 39. My stable weight has been 215 but 4 years ago got to 275. I got back down to 225 and want to get to 200. All doctors I saw said to get to goal weight/maintain it. One doctor said I should be 160 lbs, I do not ever see that weight happening. Is it safe for me to do the tummy tuck/with some lipo at 200 lbs? Also drains or no drains? I see most do drains - pros and cons to both? Is it just doctor preference?
I had a tummy tuck in the summer of 2019. At the time I was 5'10 and 220 pounds. I looked and felt great. However, exactly one year post-op, my back started hurting. The pain is in my left lower back somtimes hip area. It even shoots down my leg. My life has been ruined due to this pain. I have not been able to work out and can hardly walk. Is there any chance my tummy tuck caused this pain? If so, is there anything I can do to get relief? I have seen back doctors and PTs with no luck.
I am 511 I currently weigh 225 I have 5 children which include a set of twins. I had a breast reduction in April 2021. The surgeon went too small from what I was I asked him not to go so small for my frame. I have extra skin that I cant get rid of to save my life from my C-section. I want to do a fat transfer to my breasts to make them have a bit more volume. As well as a tummy tuck and lipo 360. Do you think I will have a very nice shape and a good waist line?
Female 6ft 210lbs 4 children (3vag 1 cesarean) Diastasis Recti Umbilical Hernia BMI 28 Which TT would be better for me? ETT or TT and if I did ETT would it still be necessary to get lipo to flanks or would the ETT cover that area ?
I am 5'9 and have had an athletic build for the majority of my life until some medical issues arose and I gained weight. I am currently 210 lbs but with that said, I have a visibly defined shape for the first time in life. By no means am I advocating it is healthy. It is not. I would like to get a TT & Lipo after I get under 200 lbs & under a 30 BMI. How do some women have a hour glass figure after a TT & Lipo and others do not?
I am 5 11 215 and have had 3 children. I was hoping to get a get a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a BBL. However, I heard if I got a tummy tuck I would no longer be able to perform Aerial silks or circus arts. It is ALL CORE strength. If I just got the TT without the MR then maybe that would be okay? I dont mind not being able to perform for 6-12 weeks but not forever! I just want a flat stomach and waist.
I am 58 and weight 210lbs. Even thought Ive accepted he fact that I will never be a small woman I still plan to drop at minimum ten pounds. I would like to know if I would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck and lipo 360? I have saggy skin and excess fat but over all I like my shape/curves but would like to smooth things over.
