I've seen my Plastic Surgeon yesterday that's why there's a purple mark on my side. He will cut more skin on the marked site to reduce the rippling. The bulging of my stomach, I hope it will be flatten someday. I'm still going hard in the gym and trying to eat clean.

Hi, what did he say about the bulging? I have that too.

Also, is the puffed up tummy area firm when standing (feels full)? I feel like there must be fluid in there but it seems more swollen (not wavy). My Dr doesn't think I have fluid. I am also within 2 lbs of my preop weight and a lot of my pants still don't fit my tummy. I have had this from day 1 but worse of course. I keep thinking I am a slow healer and it will all come together after 1 year post op. I am 10 months post op.

Mine feels soft like pre surgery. Doctor said it's fat. I've never been flat like others. My tummy is very loose when I bend over unlike yours. Your result looks good. I'm actually 5 lbs lighter than my pre surgery weight. Go figure.. :)

I'm sorry you are disappointed. Maybe you will see improvement after some time with the cool sculpting. I don't know much about that procedure. I had a revision to my TT at 8mo and the dr was able to excise more skin/fat above and below my incision line...it probably removed 2-3inches of loose skin for me. I wonder if that is something you could talk to your dr about doing?

I'm going to ask him one more time for a revision and if he still think that my tummy looks good, I might see a different surgeon. Btw, I'm happy for you. You look fantastic!

It saddens me and see your photos. I’m having almost identical issues BUT I’m only almost 3 months postop and I trust my surgeon and he promised he would make the necessary revisions to make me happy. I also don’t look good when I sit or bend or lay down. Only when I stand, and it is very disappointing after you go through all that surgery, and you still can’t fit into a pretty tight shirt or if you wear tight pants you still have a muffin-top. But like I said I trust my surgeon. I pray yours will do the right thing and make The necessary revisions. Good luck!

I'm 2lbs lighter than my pre op weight. Since my surgeon said the cause of my loose skin and bulging tummy is fat, it's supposed be flatter right.. But it's not. I just had a cool sculpting done 6 days ago and they said that the result takes up to 3 months. I have to be more patient before I schedule another check up with Dr. David Jansenn of Fox Valley Plastic Surgery in Oshkosh WI to see what is his plan to correct this.
