29 with Two Kids..needed a Tt ASAP - Bakersfield, CA

I am sorry to hear about your disappointment after tummy tuck surgery. Given, that you are only six days out of surgery, I would ask that you do your best to exercise patience and stay emotionally even keeled. It is very likely that you will be much happier with the outcome of surgery many months from now than you are today. Generally, it may take up to a year for patients to see the final outcome of the procedure performed. If, in the longer term you are not pleased, revisionary tummy tuck surgery may be helpful to you. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term. Tom J Pousti M.D.

I see that we went to the same surgeon. I do remember having a conversation with Dr. Lehocky about my incision. I previously had a C section and I asked if he could ensure to make my incision as low as possible so that it can be concealed easily. His response was what I think an "honest response". He told me there really isn't a way to guarantee anything until he's actually doing the surgery. He said once the skin is cut, the location of the scar highly depends on the elasticity of the skin. If he has the room to bring the skin as far "south" as possible then great, but if he cant, he has to work with what he has. You and I had our procedures done pretty close to eachother and I'd suggest to remain optimistic. I wish you the very best in your recovery (because this was no walk in the park lol)

I don't understand why there is a vertical scare

It looks like you have a great result. I think over time you will see amazing things. You're scar should fade and all swelling subside. How are you liking it now?

Can you post an update? How did it heal? I have same anatomy and may have same scar

I would ask on a lawyers website not a Drs website!

to be honest. It looks really good and a super thin line. I can guarantee you it will fade . You need to give it time. Im sure you look better then before. Patience is key

Hi, I am the opposite to you in that I wish I had the vertical scar instead of a higher horizontal scar and very small space between new bb and new pubic line. Unfortunately I think sometimes we look on real self and see people with "perfect results" and feel so disappointed when ours haven't turned out the same. Maybe try to not compare yourself to others and focus on the improvement that I'm sure has been made to your body, that's what I've been trying to do. Easier said than done though, (: x
