Kind of like what I had! I think I had a seroma and my doctor wouldn't admit it and then scar tissue formed. But at least he was able to fix it!

I'm so sorry this happened.

When they recreate your bell button they suture the umbilicus to your upper abs, I think - makes breathing worse and the suturing feels awful

I have been back and forth seeing different doctors from pain specialist for a nerve pain & hypersensitivty. I am currently takin neurontin & cymbalta. I also go to a dermatologist for my TT keliod scar treatments. Yea I have to pay more money out for kenalog injection when my PS should be taking care of that issue for me. I also have paid a visit to see another PS for a second opinion .. Yep more $ I have been spending.. now this TT has cost me well over $10,000 ..
I just left my primary care office who think I may have seroma is sending me for a ultrasound smh poor me have to go to my primary doctor reguarding my TT instead of the PS I paid for .. I will update you all on my ultrasound results

Can keloid scars be caused by poor surgical technique or is this how your body responds to wounds?

I am a small person and I only weighed 130-135 pounds when I had my tummy tuck. However, I was left with skin and fat especially more on my left side. In addition, I was left with a raised higher scar on my right side and a dog ear. At the consulation she told me at 6 months post op she would give me a revision if I wasn't happy but when I told her I was unsatisfied she told me to my face that it wasn't fat and that it was extra skin and that she could not get me any tighter and rushed me out the door. Why would she leave me with extra skin. I feel that that is her mistake and she should fix it.

This doctor was always dismissive and mean towards me. I never got the post op care and service I payed for. She has no passion and only wants your money. I was also in pain and still is but she just told me see a pain specialist so basically she just washed her hands from me. She doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore since I complain of pain and I am an unsatisfied patient. Please go some where else! Do not make the same mistake I made because this doctor do not care about her patients. She is not cheap and I felt like I was robbed. I will regret this for ever!

Hi have the same problem u have. My ps also said tht he was goimg tp trbise me wen i get six months, wen sic mos came he told me tht my muscles cant get tightet. He did a good job on my breastlift but i thnk tht he could have lifted them a little highet and my tt scars are where they should be, very low but my stomach is not flat and i still have loose skin below my bb. The only thing that he said tht he would do take the loose skin off the bottom but he act like he didnt want to fo that. Why fid he say tht je was goin to revise me and changed his mind. I dont have any botched scars but i feel as though my stomach can be a lot flatter bc i look pregnant. I try not to think abt the money i spend bc it maked me sick. Now i need to get my tummy ovr again n spend the same amount of money. I have done more research on drs!

Please if you can go and see another board certified plastic surgeon, I would recommend Dr. Lisa BootsTaylor. She is an excellent board certified plastic surgeon and I had breast reduction, TT, and liposuction done by her and I recommend her highly. Don't give up, just seek another physician for a second opinion.
