BL with BA Silicone Under Muscle 400cc and Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair - Greensburg, PA

Almost a year later and not so sure I'm super happy with my results...

So I've given my body time to heal, and everything time to settle and I just don't think I'm as happy as I feel I should be. My belly button has an awful scar completely all the way around it which makes it totally obvious that I have had a tummy tuck. If that isn't bad enough, my scar is much higher than what was initially discussed in my consultation so it hangs out of not only my underwear but any bikini bottom I would wear and even some pants :-/. I have what they call dog ears on both sides. My breasts should have had a full lift, which I thought was the case when I initially went in for my consultation but I'm not the expert. So now my breasts have a long look to them instead of the rounder, fuller appearance that they should have. It's extremely frustrating to me and depressing to have spent all this money on something and not be satisfied. So now I have scheduled an appointment with another dr to have these things corrected. **fingers crossed** everything turns out well

Your tummy looks great & flat however its your own body and you had certain wants when you made the decision to have surgery. Trust me I totally understand, I just spent an additional $6900 to re do my boobs with the same Dr to achieve the look I wanted

My tummy is flat, and my scar is healing amazingly, but when it's your own body and you have to see it all the time you can't help but nit pick it. my belly button bothers me more than anything honestly and I feel it would be an easy fix. my breasts def bother me as well, but i don't really walk around without my shirt on so lol... its not like i see them constantly but I do spend a lot of time thinking about it.

I totally understand!!! You gotta do whateva it takes to make you happy! Have you spoke to your Dr about a revision
May 17, 2016
I have an appt in a week to do so!! Cannot wait!!!!!!!

Have you tried ScarAway strips? I used them on my c section scar and it helped A TON!! I had tried creams and gels prior, but this product was the only thing that worked.

I actually went to another surgeon who is going to be doing a revision on everything that I had done last year. Luckily there is enough skin for him to move my scar down enough since it is up so high it sticks out of everything. He will be moving my belly button down since it is closer to my breasts than it should be, and I am only 5'1" so my torso isn't very long, and having my belly button up so high makes my torso look very short. I am having my breast implants removed because they are just too large for my frame. I am going to have a full lift done which is what should have been done in the first place because my breasts look like they are sagging over my implants. There are just so many things that I am disappointed with. And when you spend so much money on something you kind of expect it to look a certain way. Especially when you are promised certain things and you wake up and see that things aren't what u expected. Lol. I could go on for a while about all of the issues that I had but I am just happy to have found someone who I know will make everything perfect as he has done so on many of my friends and family. I am not sure why I didn't go to him in the first place.

I had a breast augmentation with Dr Antimarino and I have to say although he is super nice, I was also highly disappointed with my end results. My breasts are further apart than I was hoping and it makes it more obvious they are fake. He admitted he could have moved them closer but said I could just buy bras that would give me better cleavage. I also expressed concerns with my scars the entire healing time as he told me to leave them alone completely. I am almost 17 months post surgery and my one scar just is still very red and angry. I realize you sign all that paperwork to say everyone heals differently and he can't guarantee what the scar will ultimately look like, but come on, you are telling me there is no cream out there or silicone strip that would help at all?! Thanks for your posts. I need my belly fixed but after seeing how he did your belly button and hearing you are also unhappy with your scar location helps solidify in my mind to find another surgeon.

Yes! Thank you! Because I was beginning to feel somewhat crazy because everyone gives him all these awesome reviews. He is super nice but I just don't feel like his work is amazing. I had my implants removed because they looked awful, and had my tummy tuck redone. Unfortunately, unless I wanted another scar across my tummy there was only so much my new dr could do with my belly button, but it looks a hell of a lot better than it did and I'm only three months post op. My tt scar was so high it would show out of pants!! I mean come on!!!!! It was so disappointing. Especially when he told me it would be in one place and it's much higher than where we discussed.

Your profile says you are from Illinois. Did you find a new surgeon closer to home? I am so sorry to hear he wasn't able help as much as you were originally anticipating. Yes, I didn't do a review yet but that's why I also went with him because he has this amazing bedside manner and all these positive reviews.
February 7, 2017
I meant I'm sorry your new surgeon wasn't able to help as much as you hoped.

Almost 5 weeks

Monday will be 5 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good. My boobs are still kinda tender as is my tt incision. My scar is a little higher than I would have cared for it to be, but I do wear my underwear very low. Hopefully my pants will cover it. Not that I'm walking around with cut off shirts or anything, but I wouldn't like it to be visible to me lol. I am really very happy with results other than that. Belly button looks kinda weird too. My husband tells me I'm being too nit picky, but it's my body and I can't help it :-/. I got the ok to start doing more than just walking on a treadmill, so I am soo happy about that. I hate not being able to work out. I'm taking it easy and listening to my body. No ab exercises yet, but I'm totally fine with that. I'll post some pics

You look wonderful...some people get "flowers/vines, butterflies" etc to cover scars if you're into tattoos...otherwise it will take a while but the scar will fade...

August 1, 2015
Yea I have noticed that. While I'm not against tattoos at all, I actually have body and cosmetic tattoos, I just am not sure if I want one on my stomach. Maybe if I found something that I loved?! But until then, I guess I'll just deal with the scar lol. My moms tt scar faded beautifully and I literally cannot see it unless she points it out to me, so I'm hoping mine does the same.

My husband took this picture when I was at the dr, right after he took off my tape and bandages. It felt soooo good to get all that stuff off.

You look AMAZING! I'm scheduled for July 15 th , started to get excited, though still a little scared . Cannot wait to be able to say I'm a week post op!! Happy healing! I know folks on here have recommended wearing a tank top or t shirt soft cotton under any binders for comfort if Dr. Okays it....
July 3, 2015
Thank you!! I feel like it's hard to tell how I look really because of all the swelling but it already looks soooo much better than I did before. Yes, my dr did say I can wear a tank top under the binder which I am going to do as soon as I get out of the shower. I was so exhausted when I got home I sat down in my recliner and fell asleep. So now it's shower time!!
