Revision done after this posted surgery 2/3/17
$6,000
So I wasn't happy with the final outcome of the mtt/revision of c section scar so I once again went under knife and had a revision done on scar 2/3/17. My belly, even 10 mths after mtt, looked not what I was expecting. I seriously looked 3 mths prego 24/7. Couldn't even flatten My lower belly with a waist trainer. Like lower belly stuck out further than before and so hard. My new amazing Dr did exactly what I asked for from the get go. Flatten lower belly area and no more indention!!

Okay so I'm now 10 wks out and still pretty sad about the lump I have on both sides of incision. I don't get it and thinking it's never going to flatten. I went in because I didn't like the over hang from my 2 c sections and now the center is flat but over hangs in 2 places and further out towards sides now vs just in center of course section scar. My only goal was flatness and that's what the Dr said I'd get if I went the "Mini tummy tuck vs just a scar revision" I don't even know what to think or do about this ???? Cause of one spot about 4" long I didn't like and felt uncomfortable with...I go to have fixed and now I'm left with 2 areas of about 4" on each side, 8" total--I don't like. I would've never done this if I wouldn't have been told--"yes it'll be completely flat after mini tummy tuck."

trying to figure out from pictures what overhang or lumps your talking about. Not seeing it or maybe need it pointed out. Can you take a picture from an angle I can see it. Just wondering because I also am a SWELLER who took forever to go down and ended up with some lumps and over hang. Just had my revision yesterday at 5 months.

You look great! My c section over hang drives me nuts, can't wait for it to be gone!

Thanks!! Yes it's an amazing thing when that flattens out--I'm still wanting it to flatten out more around incision area but hopefully that'll happen with time.

Overall I'm feeling good just wish the swelling and humps around incision would fade away with the days. I'm also sensitive on left side of belly button about an orange size in diameter but she did fix an umbilical hernia so maybe that's why..?? Also I have this spot on my right hip, goes numb a lot, but very very painful as well. Kinda feeling like I have a bruised bone; been there since having drain removed on day 5 so was thinking it was connected to that somehow-hoping it'll go away with time. But other than those few issues--I'm feeling pretty good.

I start Embrace on June 7th. How do you like it so far? Does it stay on pretty well? So, for the first week I had very little appetite, but the last few days I've been eating awful!! Started back this morning on tracking macros. I def want to keep my results looking good for summer! How are you feeling these days? Feeling almost back to normal? Hope so!!

I like it but it's weird cause it's suppose to help with scar tissue but yet I'm having more build up but I just push/rub it away on top of strip. It stays on amazingly and when I took first set off--like OUCH just on sides though...not around incision itself. I was the same way for like first 10 days--zero appetite but ever since then I've been eating horribly. But this is the time u can get away with it cause our bodies going through surgery and healing process makes our metabolism super insanely fast. I'm feeling good but still swelling throughout day...and just sensitive where Dr fixed my umbilical hernia, that was a complete surprise! Hope all is going well with u

Who was your doctor for the mini tuck?
April 8, 2017
Dr Emily Kirby out of Ft Worth Tx. I recently had my Mini tuck scar revised by my new surgeon and absolutely looks amazing now!!!! 2 months post op now and super happy with outcome.

What happened what your scar if you don't mind me asking? Who is the surgeon that revised the scar? You look fantastic honey!! I want a tummy tuck soooo bad, but so afraid. So I'm just doing my research now.

Surgeon who revised my scar is Dr Vishnu Rumalla out of Keller Texas. He's amazing!!!! I wanted the revision/mtt done from the get go cause of c section scar indention. Well the first surgery was okay but gave me indentions still...especially on ends/sides. Like I always looked 3 mths prego even after first surgery as well. I'll try to post of pic now, after second revision, so u can see what I'm talking about.
