I am 12 days post op and from the very beginning following the procedure I have noticed my upper abdomen is not as flat as the lower. Also my lower abdomen feels much tighter and numb than the upper portion, which is what was expected, but I also expected that throughout my abdomen. I feel as though maybe the muscle repair was not performed or maybe I'm over analyzing too soon. would appreciate any and all feed back. Thanks!
I'm 48M, 511, 250 lbs., down from 310. It's been a process of weight training, cardio, nutrition (for 2.5 years) and Wegovy (the past year). I've been stable at 240-250 for about eight months, though I'm much stronger through training! Unfortunately, I have an overhang of skin and fat that's been stubborn, or gotten worse as my body has gotten leaner. Would a tummy tuck be a good/bad idea or should I keep trying to lose weight? I don't see weighing much less
I ask this question with more appropriate/realistic pictures. Will my stomach look better after tummy tuck and long thick scar (operated look) or better to focus on other treatment which can tighten and lift the skin without scar? What would be the best visual outcome in my situation? Thank you.
I've lost over 130lbs through diet and exercise and getting closer to a healthier BMI for a tummy tuck. I have my diabetes under control my A1C is in the low 6's. I had a heart attack four years ago where I received a stent. My cardiologist will give me the ok for surgery as long as I don't stop taking an 81mg dose of aspirin a day to prevent the stent from getting a clot. My question is can I get a tummy tuck while still taking a low dose aspirin?
I have lost almost 100 pounds in the last year, from 265 to 175. I am a 19 year old male. I have scheduled a full tummy tuck for June. And I am planning to be 165 by then. My doctor said that it would tighten my stomach and upper abdomen above my belly button, but I was wondering if it will tighten my chest area as well?
My husband has gained a considerable amount of weight and his stomach is very large and hangs in the front and sides. His penis seems to have retreated up into this abdomenal area and has gone from seven inches flacid to almost two inches flacid. Would a tummy tuck basically, push his penis back out of his abdomen and give him back his size?
