After having 2 kids, my body completely changed and decided I needed a tummy tuck :-( I had mini tummy tuck 5 months ago, and there has always been a bulge above the scar. Also the scar is not fading and my 3rd issue is the scar is not even, it's higher on one side.
Is all of this normal? Did my surgeon do a bad job? Please help!!! I feel so disappointed and unhappy. I spent about $3000 on this, all I went through with recovery, and now I have to go back to do a revision?

That's certainly not the way you want to feel after going through that expense, pain and inconvenience. Have you expressed your dissatisfaction to your surgeon?

Yes, the last time I visited the Dr was 2 months after my surgery, he said I needed to schedule a 30 min retouch in his office and may or may not need lipo?!.. I believe I need lipo, and several other retouches, I feel so disappointed. I thought after the tummy tuck, I'd be done with surgeries (I had 2 C-sections), so having to do additional work in my body doesn't make me happy at all :-(

Understandable! Is your surgeon willing to do the revisions free of charge?

Hi there...I am so sorry to hear this. I also reside in Atlanta and am trying to find the right surgeon for a FTT. Do you mind me asking who you saw? Good luck and please keep us posted.

It was dr. Diane alexander. Suggest avoiding. I had bad experience there also.

I'm so sorry.. Would you be willing to tell us the name of the Dr. Who preformed the procedure? What was the outcome? Did you express your dissatisfaction with the Dr.?

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Alexander. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different and outcomes will vary. I had hernia repair/ full TT and am very pleased.
Hi yuyi -- I'm so sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. You may want to post your questions to our Doctor Q&A forum. A lot of tummy tuck / mini tummy tuck doctors participate and will be able to give you guidance on the problems you mentioned.
Thanks, I just saw it. I added a link to this page so the doctors can see all of the photos. Hope this helps. :)
