* 28 Year Old, Mother of 3, A much needed Tummy Tuck

When I sit down or bend slightly over. And you can't see my belly button when I sit down. Sorry for all typos darn phone keeps changing my words lol

Hi! Seeking a second opinion is never a bad idea, so I would encourage you to do that. At least it would put your mind at ease! You've come a long way from your "before" photos, so don't let yourself get discouraged. I'll be watching for updates!

Hi hon. I think you would do well to get at least one or two more opinions. Extra skin while sitting is normal and necessary for movement. You look great compared to your pre op photos however to me it looks like more can come off if flatter is your goal. Lipo may not tighten the skin so get all of the facts. My skin lost most of its elasticity after children and age. So, at age 65 I was not as concerned with the skin (which would have been easy to remove) prior to my Dec 2014 revision. I did not get the muscle repair the first tuck and knew I'd never be satisfied without it (thus had the second tuck). I mentioned my revision to let you know I understand what it feels like to want more off even after seeing quite a big improvement. Doctor's opinions are good but only you have to live with your self image. This surgery is for you, so take some time and decide what will make you happy. Make sure you are realistic but also make sure you are satisfied. My prayer is that God grants you the wisdom to choose well and the peace that comes with making the right dicision and seeing it through. Take care honey and keep us posted. We all want the best for you. BJ

Hiya yes mine is like your and my ps says it won't go on its own he he wants to do a revision of the whole scar and take more off especially just under the belly button. It is him more than me that's not happy. All will be done free of charge as well in a hospital not office.
What happens if your in an office and something went wrong he has no back up at all. Go look at my profile you will see the full story.
Take care don't leave it cause after 12 months no come back?

I just found your review. You do look great but I can see why you want a second opinion. I am not completely happy with my results either. My ps said he would do lipo but I did get a second opinion and he thinks I need a complete tt again to fix the mr. I'm not happy. I would try to talk to your ps again to see if he will fix it to make you happy. And it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion. Good luck!

Awake. Wow. I assume you mean excess skin removal and Lipo only while awake with local (not muscle repair). Praying for a great outcome. Hang in there honey. BJ

Oi! Your brave!

Can't wait to see how you heal. My dog ears look bad. I'm sure he's going to want to do something when he sees them.

I'm pretty sure i have a dog ear on one side. I will see what she says when I go in August.

Is your doctor gonna fix it or is going to improve in time?

Good luck with your revision! Keep us updated :-)

Oh man, the hanging skin would bug me, too. Glad he's going to make it right! Good luck tmrw- I'll be watching for your updates!

Wishing you the best on your revision. I had to wait 6 months before they would consider doing one. Had mine by different PS at 7 months. Hang in there. Praying for a great outcome. BJ

I am doing good. He only did one side. He used a better Quality stitch to see how it heal. Then his going to do the other side. It was so Kool I was awake the whole time, he did it in the office and even let my sister watch. I go back in two weeks. I will post pic later because I can not take the bandages off for a couple of days.
