4 months post op

Still really hard around belly button. And not sure what to with the dip and bulging out part. This is not what I expected. Dont know what to do. Will I require another surgery?
I am using silagen, maderma pm and bio oil to lighten my scar.

I would do a revision, full tummy tuck. I can imagine this was not the result you were picturing when you went into surgery. I’m truly sorry. I know it must be frustrating. Have faith and know it can be fixed and stay positive!!
My God I am sorry to hear this. I wouldn't even think twice, do a full TT dear and problem solved. I would also consider to get another surgeon - what an idiot to leave your tummy like this. You could ask for help in TV show as well, and if they take your case they would leave you perfect, and free of cost. Try the "Botched" show - there are others as well. Best of luck ♡
There surely is a problem with the tuck, I don't think time will take care of this. Maybe you need to see a different Dr for advice
You should post the name of this surgeon so that no one else has to go through what you're going through. From your pictures I'm sorry to say that it looks like your surgeon is not qualified to do this. Please see another doctor who can fix this. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Best of luck to you.
Thank you everyone, since the day of surgery I have only gone through mental and physical torture. I do plan on going to another doctor for advice, but I'm waiting for my 6 months to complete. And then I will also post my surgeon's name.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I see no reason to wait for the 6 months. You should absolutely go to someone reputable now and post the name of who did this to you immediately. And consider litigation, honestly. I'm so so sorry. :(
They are saying I am.still very hard, and still have recovery time.

Mini Tummy Tuck

I have no words to tell what I feel. I am trying to be patient and waiting for the six months to be over, because that is what I'm continously being told by my Dr. that it will get better. I really hope they are right.

Are you using scar cream? I haven't had this done so I dont know what your going through but healing does take time and it looks like the incisions are healing, slower than you wanted or expected but at least they are healing. That's a pretty major procedure so it will def take time for everything to heal. It's only been 2 months so just hang in there but def get some cream for scars. Keep smiling darlin
Thank you Hun, I am not using any scar cream yet, my doctor hasn't "okayed" it. He wants me to wait until my incision is completely healed. Plus I had a 2nd surgery a mo th after my first. They had to go back and cut my sutures since they weren't dissolving and they put a drain pipe for a week. It's been crazy.
Hi there! So I can def see from your pics that things look like they are getting better. Bruising is going away, swelling is going down, and your scar is healing. Are you happy with your results so far?
Hey, yes, it is getting better but I am left with so many more scars and pigmentation than I expected. So as of now I love myself with clothes but the scars are terrible.
It’s so hard to be patient, I understand! But like others said I am definitely seeing progress!
Thank you.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Hello lovlies,

I just wanted to update with my journey thus far. I ended up targetting the front first. Postponing the BBL for later. I went ahead and did Mini Tummy Tuck on April 9, 2019 with fat grafting to breast and lipo to upper arm.

Hi. How do you feel the fat grafting is going? I’ve got saline implants (1 recently deflated) and I’m considering removing them and doing the fat grafting along with mini tuck and lipo. How much of a size difference do you think you got so far?
So, since I'm only 2 months out and they say wait 3 months for the result and the size accuracy. Having said that, I only wanted to increase a little fullness rather then changing a cup size. I am happy with where I am at right now and I would like to stay that size, but I still have a month to go. I have not gone for measurements but I think I went up half a cup. But everyone is different.
