Revision complete !
WORTH IT$6,500
Hi everyone ! On May 4th I had my revision done. I have been resting ever since . I went to my post op appointment and from what I saw my stomach was perfect !! This just might be my dream come true ! Dr Stile was so kind to me and explained everything before I went in . I have a new scar and a new belly button . Everything feels tight and I am so excited to see my results after I heal. I also opted to exchange my saline breast implants for silicone at the same time . So I am sore head to toe right now but it's worth it . I will post pictures when the bandages come off. Xoxo!!

1 month post op revision needed in a couple months
My Seroma is finally almost gone ! Woohoo ! But unfortunately I have some loose skin above my belly button that will need corrected. I am unsure what exactly went wrong and if it's all due to the Seroma or not. Honestly I am trying to just focus on the final outcome and not the what ifs and could have beens. I just want to see the extra skin gone and hopefully be feeling great by summer this year !

I had to have a revision on my stomach and it felt like an eternity before it was time! After it was done I was so happy with going through all that pain I was in

Did you have similar issues ? Did you have your revision at 3 months of wait until longer ?
February 29, 2016
Sorry to hear about this!! Will you have to go under general anesthesia again and is your PS charging you?
February 29, 2016
Yes I will have the procedure over again. To my understanding completely new scar even . Drains. Recovery. The whole thing. I am not 100% about all the details but I think it's basically like starting over. Possibly less brutal recovery due to not needing muscle repair as much if at all. Confused for sure and will know more at next appt in one month. Disappointed but excited to have it taken care of. Doctor will not be charging me since it was an unforeseen and no fault of my of my own

Wow. I'm glad he's not charging you. Keep us posted on everything. I hope there are no seromas the 2nd time around!

I am almost 4 months PO and I need a revision to remove extra skin above my belly button. At my three month check up my PS told me there was nothing he could do about the extra skin and it was as good as it was going to get. Then when I was near tears after he left the room, his PA told me she knows he can remove some of the skin in a simple in office procedure. He was a real jerk but she said at my 6 month we will talk about the revision. They won't even consider a revision until at least 6 months PO. What did your PS say? How does he plan to remove the extra skin?

My doctor is awesome and I am sure every situation is different of course but yes he is doing a revision for me in May. My situation is caused due to Seroma that didn't allow me to heal properly. The skin is loose from belly button up and Dr. Stile is going to go back and redo it again to ensure that I am happy and he is happy as well. I used him for my breasts as well because of the confidence I have in him used him for my stomach as well :) you could consider getting a second opinion but keep in mind your still healing .

After I got my Seroma drained on Tuesday my lower stomach started to go down and out of nowhere my middle section went flat ! Like its hard as if I am fit ! It's a good thing and something that give me so much hope that this is going to be what I hoped . Bare with me here and yes I think I am a little crazy too ;) but now that my mid section is flatter and my lower stomach isn't not as swollen , if I cover up my Seroma on top I am starting to see a huge change ! Keep in my mind the moment I move my hand I have a lump that has come back due to fluid being retained there and I have to get it removed again on Tuesday. If I can get this Seroma to disappear and flatten out on top I am going to be the happiest girl in the world ! This literally just flattened out tonight as I was watching a movie I felt it going down . Could it be a little miracle after a very difficult two weeks ?

Wow! 18 days out and looking amazing! Bye bye seromas!!
February 18, 2016
How are you feeling?? Hope all is better!
February 18, 2016
I am doing better and go back tomorrow again to have my Seroma looked at and aspirated. Dr. said that his patients never get Seromas and I am a rare case. Some days my all stomach looks ok and I am excited ! I know I have a ways to go and trying not to get discouraged . It's so hard when I have a lump that gets worse and worse and when drained skin looks droopy because it hasn't had a chance to heal
To the muscle yet . Once Seroma is gone and skin can attach and essential stick back down I will love my stomach. Patience is my friend right now. I'll let you know what doctor says tomorrow ! :)

Very best wishes! I look for your updates daily because my consultation with Dr Stile was very rushed & busy and when trying to schedule a 2nd consult they cancelled. I'm still booked & ready to go but I really like reading about your journey with him :) Hope you get great news tomorrow!
