Im one day post op (I know, very early). When I looked down I was really upset as it doesnt look like most other after pictures. Theirs lots of creasing near the scar? Dr said this will go in time but Im not sure if this is true. Theirs a stitch above the new belly button, will this go? I had Lipo and tummy tuck and wanted to achieve a flat stomach.
I am 14 months post full tummy tuck, muscle repair and liposuction of flanks. I am struggling with my final results. I still feel as though I have quite a bit of loose skin when I sit or flex my abdominal muscles. A deep vertical fold/crease forms between navel and vertical scar. Since procedure I also have a hard, swollen area on the right side of lower abdomen. I also feel as though the contour on my sides is not smooth after the lipo. This has been very disheartening.
I had a tummy tuck 7 months ago! My cut end up opening about a week after went back and ask me if i smoke because they said that happened with smoker told them i have never smoked anyway they keep giving me different scuses why it open. Finally ended up healing but now i have a crease a scar and a little dog ear on my right side and a crease/bulge dog ear on my left , will the crease go away or the need to fix it? His saying i need exercise for it to away i been doing it but it haven't
Im only 2 days post-op but I am curious if the crease in the middle of my abdomen is normal and due to swelling? Also, will my belly button shape change as I heal? Thanks so much for any input, I have already spoke to my doctor but was interested in getting other opinions.
I've had this crease above my stomach since birth. 2 1st pics are normal, the last 3 are hunched over pushing stomach out. When I'm skinner its not AS bad but still obvious I have a separation of the upper and lower stomach. Never been pregnant only 25 years old. The stomach has always been an issue. Do I need a tummy tuck to fix the muscles or the stomach band? Im still really not THAT chubby, but the uneven stomach makes me appear bigger than my 120 weight.
Is this going to go away or is a revision in my future? It looks like Im squeezing my stomach together. I just want a nice belly button and right now it looks like a tufted headboard. Overall Im happy just concerned about this area
3wks PO Full TT w MR w drains. No creasing on belly, but the garment is leaving these deep creases on both sides that are pinching. I'm pretty restricted to recliner & unable to straighten out yet. It also creases & pinches when I walk. 1. Will this go away when I promote to spanx in a few weeks/a month or become permanent? 2. Is there something I can do do decrease the pinching and creasing until then?
After losing 77 pounds and having excess skin I am 17 weeks post op full tummy tuck, lipo to upper abdomen and muscle repair (15cm gap) My healing has been without complications however I am disappointed to be left with a deep vertical crease that hides my belly button. I realise that this is better than an FDL vertical scar but is there anything that could be done to improve it? Would more lipo help? Will it improve with time? Or further weight loss? Or exercise?
Hi! Im really concerned about the crease in my upper and lower belly button, my dr says it will go away, i didn't have it in the early days after post op but then it appeared and never went away! Is this permanent? What should I do about it? My friend have surgery at the same time and she is completly flat (another surgeon and a longer incision) and i have been looking for photos of people with 6weeks tummy tucks and ALL of them are super flat. Thank you!
