TT Touchup Procedure

  • 28 Oct 2016
  • 8 months post
I went in yesterday for touch ups to my hip fat transfer, slight dog ear, flanks, BB scar, and TT scar. Both scars needed injections. There was a $200 fee for sedation in the exam room. I went in at 10 and was leaving around 11. We had a conversation by phone after I sent pictures and he did say I needed some small touch ups. When I get there and he exams me, he says the 'Ken doll' bulge in the front is still hard, will heal down, and is thin,so he doesn't lipo it. He also tries to convince me my hip bone is normal human anatomy(yes I know we have bone structure, I just want fat over it!) and I'm thin and will see it. LIES! If you inject enough fat there, it will fill in. He took some from my thighs and placed into the hips. No idea how much but we will see how this turns out. Pretty sure there isn't really anywhere else to get any so hopefully this holds and I get improvement.
I actually ordered a faja from Amazon yesterday that I should get today and am going to wear it. The binder did not fit me well. Maybe the compression will help with the swelling and help the fat stay where it's supposed it.

I'm coming along great. There is still a pretty round "Ken doll" like appearance where my incision meets the mons area and I will be calling to schedule a lipo touch up to get rid of it and the small flank overhang that remains. That scar as well as my belly button has gotten raised and certainly needs a steroid shot. I had fat transfer to my hips and that also needs to be done again. Hopefully he won't have me wait a full year for those touch ups.
I am having to learn brain/core engagement after having muscle separation for so long. I am so glad I did this.

After reading review after review of how great Dr Thomas Cochran and his staff in Columbus,GA was, I made an appointment after already booking another surgeon. Once at his office I ended up booking my surgery on the spot. Very helpful staff and reassuring Doctor makes me feel as if I'm in the best hands. My personality just struggled with not receiving post op written instructions nor an appointment. I had to call back just to come in. I do understand they were trying to keep me from driving the 2.5 hrs to the office, but I really needed to have instructions. I have been getting my information all from this site.
