Seriously Considering TT for Looks, Umbilical Hernia Repair and Diastasis Recti - Miami, FL

Well, it is now almost two years after my tummy tuck, and I have not done anything yet. My scar is still very dark and textured in some areas. I also have obvious scarring around my belly button, but I don't care too much about that. I feel like I may have been better off without this procedure because my scar is so ugly.

I'm making an appointment with the surgeon who performed my tummy tuck to see his opinion on my results, and I will also be looking to do consultations elsewhere.

I really feel that the scar therapy is paramount, especially for darker skin people. If I do have a revision I will be insisting upon the embrace scar therapy to heal my scar. After my tummy tuck, my surgeon gave me BioCorneum cream to use, and from my results, I can tell you that it was worthless.

Well I have had the year to adjust post surgery and I think I may need to go back. I haven't been to a follow up with my surgeon since March or May. I feel a bulge on my left side right below my rib cage and from time to time I have noticeable sensitivity along my incision scar. I don't care that much about the sensitivity, but the bulge that bothers me. It makes me think that the stitches inside must have come loose at some point. I look good but not as snatched as I hoped I would, and my scar is ugly and dark. I really never thought I would have to consider a revision, but that's where I'm at right now.

I had my surgery and I'm at my mother's house recovering now. I will post pics on Thursday after my first post-op appointment and lymphatic drainage massage. The pain isn't as bad as I anticipated it would be right now, but we'LLopez@hsf.net see how long that lasts.
