I am 49y.o. who had uncomplicated breast reduction in 2022 and BBL 6 months ago. Just found out that I have Ehlers-Danlos and am concerned that I might not be able to get a tummy tuck. I have loose skin and new prominent mons that affects what I can wear. I am wondering if most surgeons would be comfortable doing TT on EDS patient. Do I need to find a specialist and could it possibly help my stress incontinence?
I'm now 6 weeks post-Tummy Tuck, and I am pleased with the results. However, I'm bothered that my pubic area appears to be 2-3 centimeters higher/bigger that it was pre-operation. My underwear used to cover the area completely, but now they don't. Is this normal? Will the skin eventually stretch back to its place?
Hi, I had a Fleur De lis tummy tuck 5 days ago. I'm very very pleased with the results so far despite being hugely swollen and looking a bit pregnant (I know this is normal!) My surgeon took into account my sagging Mons pubis for surgery and in recovery showed me that it has been pulled up etc. When I lie down I can definitely feel it's been lifted up. However stood up, it looks even worse than before! It's so huge and puffy!! Is this normal at this stage? Might I need revision? Thanks
I had the above procedure and the outcome is less than desirable. The doctor tells me he did a great job and will charge me for a secondary surgery. I am lumpy uneven and have a lot of skin left over.
6 months post ETT, Mons Lift and Muscle Repair with Lipo to loce handles and upper abdomen. No longer swelling in love handles. However still have lump in upper abdomen. Unsure if it could still be swelling or if this is fat. I had significant bruising to love handles from lipo but none on upper abdo. Was the lipo missed? Or is there no bruising becahse the skin is separated from the muscle prior? I still have some loose skin in upper abdo as was due to weight loss not pregnancy.
Hello , Around 4-5 y ago I had a tummy tuck . The scar is too high I cant cover with any type of underwear , unless its granny underwear this bothers me a lot but i started to realised my private area seems to be also very high too ? I not sure what to do . Re-do the scar in another shape can be option in my case ? In order to lower my intimate area to right position? I also dont really like my bellybutton but I dont mind that much to me is also a bit high maybe due to scar .
35, no children, lost about 50lb 15yr ago. 3 consults, Drs suggested different procedures. Goals: defined waist, fuller, rounder butt/hips, mons reduction Breast Aug - modest/natural looking. All Dr suggest implant vs. Fat transfer (1st choice) Dr. 1 - Circular TT, lipo, BBL Dr. 2 - Lower TT, lipo, BBL + labiaplasty (not interested) Dr. 3 - 360 lipo, BBL, Vaser tightening Due to recovery/scarring, not fully wanting TT, more opposed to CTT. Can I achieve a good result w/o TT?
Aside from my stomach, Im concerned about my enlarged pubic area. I got a quote for a tummy tuck and I opted to pay extra for the liposuction on the mons pubis since Im embarrassed. I got a quote to add a pubic lift to my full tummy tuck for an additional $2,000. Are patients generally happy with the results of a pubic life and glad they spent the extra money?
Hello Doctors. I've had a tummy tuck 6 months ago in Istanbul. It was very agressive surgery and my surgeon gave me 3 layers of sutures to close my diastatis. 6 months later my abdoment still isnt flat how i wouof off liked it. I have buldge above my navel and below in my mons area its buldges out a lot and feel really hard. My scaring is poor, because my wounds came apart slightly after surgery. Im just seeking advice on what is causing rhe buldge if its vistral fat, or sutures loosen?
I lost a lot of weight & had lipo. After my last procedure I found out I was pregnant 6 months after (had a 1% chance of getting preg)... my pregnancy did not go well. My mons is insane & 6 yrs later I cant deal anymore, is a TT the only way? In a perfect world I could get a MM but as a single mom of a med. fragile child working 2 jobs, I need under $10k. My body is uneven from lipo, not sure more would help/be enough? Would insurance cover anything?
