1 yr post TT revision after floating MTT
babymickeyNovember 22, 2014
Hello everyone! I have been updating on the TT Revision page but wanted to add a last entry here as well. Just wanted to share that I am ecstatic with my revision results. Could not be happier. I am back to full exercises after waiting 6 months per my doctors orders. Still have numbness on some areas of belly-scar looks good, fading quite a bit. If I have one piece of advice-do not get a floating TT. Rarely are the results acceptable and it makes it difficult to convert to a FTT because of the bb necrosis issue. In my case, I was not aware I was getting a MTT as the surgeon changed plans in the OR, but for all that are deciding on which one, save yourself a lot of uncertainty and get the full.

So how did they take out the extra skin above the belly button? From your breasts or did u get a new belly button. I have the same prob. :(

No new belly button-it's risky to do that because of the lack of blood flow. I did a reverse TT-I was having my implants replaced and a lift too and I already had scars under my breasts so it worked out great for me

I am 5 1/2 weeks post full tummy tuck repair and I have similar results as you not from sagging skin but from my lower abdomen being swollen . It has never been completely flat. The swelling has gone down everywhere else but not from my lower abdomen above incision. How did they diagnose that you have a muscle repair fail? I am worried I might have the same. My PS states it just swollen . It does get worse with acitivity but never flat. Thanks for your post.

You look awesome!!! I'm so happy for you. What would cause failed muscle repair?
December 14, 2013
I don't really know. It could have been that non permament stitches were used. I did vomit twice post op but so do alot of post op tummy tucks. When I had it redone, there was not one suture left. My PS said it was like I had never had a repair done at all. Not a trace of suture, diastasis present. This surgery is totally different. I was flat post op this time. Last time I knew something was wrong. It was more than swelling, I knew it, I was just in denial.

I'm so glad and happy for you that you were able to get it re-done. I'm sorry you had to go through it twice (yikes). Did you ever contact your 1st surgeon and tell him what happened??

So this time around you had permanent sutures put in? My MD told me after the modified tummy tuck that failed that I have weak fascia and need a permanent mesh. I'd asked if he'd used permanent sutures and he said no but that it should work the same. I wonder if I went to another doctor what he'd say. I really don't think I need a mesh. There's soo many complications that can happen. Yours looked like it worked the second time around.

Hi babymickey! I'm glad your revision worked out. I happened to chance on your review as I'm commenting on Amy's. I'm 2 weeks postop from my TT. I was wondering in your case...what caused the muscle repair failure...didnt look like you did anything strenuos at all in the first place...also did yuo go to the same PS for revision or go to another one? Just out of curiousity wanted to ask...My best wishes to you!!

I meant curiosity ..sorry for the typo..with kids iphone is the only way to browse RS ;-) have a great weekend.

Hi working mum, I went to a different PS, no idea why it failed, although I had a lot of extra skin as well, so really it was twofold. That's why I chose a different PS.

Wuaohhhh, what a change, did your surgeon perform the Reverse Tummy,.was the same dr ir you have to get another surgeon and paid more money, thank you for sharing your esperiences with us. :-) (sorry about the mispelling words)
