Hey there.
I had to post a comment because right now I feel your heartbreak. However, your tummy looks fantastic, if it's your belly button you don't like, that's easily fixed in the doctors office....I am going through the same disappointment, devastation
Silly button! Sorry, I hadn't finished, lol!
Anyhow, I am going through the same depression also right now. I'm currently day 19 after my mini tummy tuck and have been devastated since day two. I have mass amounts of loose skin still and my belly actually rolls and looks fatter then before!!! I have a few stretch marks above my belly button that sag when I sit or squat etc and it's hideous. The whole idea was to gain confidence but all I've gained is a scar and deep sadness. I actually think I'm going to need to go see a psychologist or I'll end up a total mess. I'm absolutely heartbroken. If the surgeon had only spent an extra 20 seconds with me he would've seen I probably needed a full tummy tuck. He will do a revision for free but oh my gosh there's no way in hell I could go through this again. It's been scary as hell and very stressful. It was a once in a lifetime thing for me and I just can't go through it again.
Thanks for you reply and complement... Only if I felt that way.. But yes I totally understand like the whole object was to look and feel better about my self and I don't I actual feel worst then before and my self esteem is much lower.. I agree I would probably need too see a psychologist my self.. Cause this is drive me insane .... Yea about the revision I don't know if I would do it all over again.. But
I think I so depress that I just might be willing to get a revision if offer too.... But anyways thanks again I hope things work about for though... Do you have any before and after pic??? It probably not as bad as you think!???
If your still unhappy I would get the revision by Dr. Saunders. He is the top doc and he ask for a consultation with him.
Yes click on my kmabd0825 to see my pics. My was stomach was big and hanging.
Yes he was my surgeon that perform my mini tummy
But your results look good!! I wish my result look like yours :/ but I don't know if I comfortable with dr Saunders doing my revision.. He nice person and doctor but I don't know if I want him working on me again
Maybe you needed a full tummy instead of a mini. I think you should let him do it again. It just look like now he just need to fix your belly button.
Yeah I will consider it!!!
I too am going through the same thing as you. So sad and I feel deformed. 13 days post op and fatter than I was before with a slaggy lopsided muffing top instead of a flabby apron.
Yes I'm so sorry.. It really suck the we have to go through this... Are you planing on revision ,,? Because I know I would be needing one 6 months to a yr from now :(
I wish I could but bc mine was for medical purposes insurance covered the little amount that he took and no more. Plus my husband is against any ps so it would be a hard sell.... Unless I win th lottery. Hang in there you look fAbulous in a bikini and I bet gorgeous in a dress!'
Well thanks for the compliment.. I wish I felt that way thanks!! Tho
And you really don't look bad.. It actually look a lot better too me!!!
As far as I know, you are actually entitled to a revision by your surgeon if you aren't happy so I don't know how yours has managed to dodge the bullet?? Yours looks nice and tight, I would be happy with that. Mine doesn't look bad at all until I squat or bend, he really could've taken off double. I'm not sure if I'm ready to post pictures yet, it makes me a bit nervous being judged by others as it may make me feel worse if they say I should've gone the full! Lol. Maybe I need to do some exercise? Perhaps that might address the upper area? I'm a small build and very healthy but not the gym junkie like most of the rest are on here!
Lol ok!! And yes I understand it is a slight uncomfortable uploading pic.. But however it still early.. I keep telling my self that within 3 month hopefully it look better as it heal.. And the for you
Same*
Yeah, you're right, it is early but my skin ain't going anywhere, it actually looks better swollen cause it fills out the extra skin.
If I were you and it's just the belly button that bothered me, I would go get that fixed in the PS office under a local. This is also something I may have to consider once I am confident to turn down the revision. It's tempting but I just couldn't go through this again at this stage. Much too traumatic
You should look at my review. I had the same experience. Waited 15 months for a revision and I couldn't be happier. I think they should not do a mini. There are very few women that will get what they want with a mini. I am sorry you had to deal with that. :( My other doctor was a genius. I hope you have a great revision outcome.
Your review was very encouraging... I hope that my revision out turn out like your.. But I don't know if I can wait 15 month with this crazy belly on mine but thanks for the advice!!!!
Of*
Your welcome and I pray everything works out for you!
Thank you !!!!
What made me decide to go to another doctor was that my first doc seemed satisfied and kept trying to convince me that it looked great. I knew in my heart that it was not what I wanted or what I thought I was getting. The fact that he never looked at my results and said, "I am not satisfied with this. Let's make it better." That was what clinched it for me. His expectations were too low. Mine were much higher and I am grateful that I did not go back to him, even though it meant spending the money again. However, if your doc seems disappointed in the result too and wants to improve on it, then maybe it would be ok. However, you are the only one who can decide this. Noone else can say if you have lost confidence in him or not. If you have, then trust your instincts. You know your body.
Wow! Well said!! your are so right Iam just waiting for 6 -12 month mark to consider My revision.. But yes I will go with my instincts!!! :)!!!!!!!!!
Don't you guys stress about having surgery and all the trauma and complications that can happen? This is the only thing that's holding me back!! I suffer terrible Health anxiety and can't believe I even did this once. Every minute of the past three weeks has been a nightmare worrying over every pain I get and if I could die from complications
I'm not happy with my mini either. I have a ton of extra skin when I bend over and my incision is much higher than I was told it was going to be. What does your incision look like?
I'm so sorry that you guys are going though this sadness and disappointment. I hope that you are able to develop a plan that gives you the outcome that you're looking for.
Thanks & I hope so too :(
