I had a full TT 4 months ago and I am extremely dissatisfied, my stomach bulges out and I find myself having to suck it in if I want a flat profile but as soon as I let loose It drops. When I wear pants my stomach comes up and out over it. I dont understand if thats the best I can get or mine wasnt a good job.
I am 49, 5 '6, 125, had tummy tuck with light lipo on hips & flanks 4 months ago. I look like I still need a tummy tuck! Please tell me if something looks wrong to you or just maybe a lot of swelling. The puffy stomach & thick body make me wish I never had surgery! No pre-pictures but pre-surgery I had a thin middle with excess skin due to pregnancy (carried pregnancy mainly in the front). Now my entire middle is thick & I look like a man. I waited years to treat myself, now I look worse.
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair almost 4 months ago. My stomach was generally flat before the procedure; I only had massive stretch marks and loose skin from 4 children. There was no liposuction needed. Right after surgery my stomach was nice and flat, but about 6 weeks after (once I stopped wearing compression garment) my stomach started to developed a pooch. It's flat along the inciscion line and then about an inch from that all the way up past my belly button, I look like I have a 3 month pregnant stomach. It's also very hard and when I flex my stomach muscles it is very hard,not soft, to present a fatty area. My surgeon said it was just the anatomy of my muscles. I'm not overweight and have not changed in weight since my procedure more than maybe 2 pounds. Is there a problem? I feel worse now then I did before.
Tummy tuck on July 17th, 2015. Tough recovery, but now everything is OK, except for the love handles that are appearing on each side. I can grasp them. I am 147 pounds and 5 ft. 9 in. I am in good shape. What do i do?
I'm 4 months post-op of a tummy tuck and my scar is still really dark. It's kind of a burgundy color. Is it normal? how much long does it usually take for a scar to start turning white? I am also applying dermatix ultra on my scar twice a day.
Swelling goes away during the night and returns in morning as I become more active. Doesnt actually hurt just a little uncomfortable bloated feeling. I quite wearing the binder last Thursday. IShould I still be wearing it and for how long? I go back to dr in January.
I got a tummy tuck on 1/2019 and had a horrible rash after my drains were removed. After my rash stopped being bright red and stopped burning it became really dark and its been almost 4 months and shows no sign of leaving. Surgeon said he cant help me and dermatologists just want to give me steroids but they have not helped. Has anyone seen this before? My belly button is now turning the same color
I noticed a small firm bump forming about 5 wks post op tummy tuck.. just above my navel. Even today, at 4 mos. Post op, if I wear my binder consistently for multiple days the 'bump' isn't noticeable. The more I have my binder off and am active, the more the bump protrudes. It is very firm. Is that consistent with a pseudobursa or just muscle swelling?
Im 4 months PO tummy tuck w/ muscle repair. The center of my abs will ache and feel tight while doing stretches or other exercises that use my abs. Ive heard you can go back to strenuous workout after 2 months....Is it normal to get the tight feeling or should i wait longer to work core? Also, when i do get back to yoga will the stretches stretch the skin at all(may sound silly) ive had so much extra skin that ive never had this tight feeling in the skin while doing poses. Thanks
