ALL I WANTED TO FIX WAS A SMALL POUCH AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

Thank you for your post, I'm sure you're as fed up as I am. I have read about others who have had tummy tuck to correct what happened to us but I just can't get myself to go through something like that when in reality I never needed one. I'm so thin, I have no fat and I can't believe a TT is the only solution.. this is shocking. I believe this is scar tissue, maybe somehow it can be dissolved?

I don't believe it's scar tissue. I was told by one surgeon that I visited afterward that this "defect" usually occurs when the performing surgeon gets "overzealous" on a thin person, or suctions an excess of fat in one area, causing the dimples and dips. Supposedly massage during the early stages of recovery helps redistribute the fat, but I was diligent with massaging and still came away with that result. I posted a question for the doctors here about it, but I think I worded it poorly because they surgeons focused on the wrong issue. But you can see my pics on this site if you type JPkid in the search link above. (I would put the link here but I don't know if that's allowed) The pictures don't do it justice (cheap camera) because it looks worse than that, and they were taken 4 months post op. Some of the folds got less obvious with vigorous exercise, but the dimples got more pronounced. Aaargh! Oh, I was also told that fat transfer to the deep places might help, but I don't know if I want to chance that. Hopefully some other folks will chime in soon with the perfect solution. If not, I'll let you know if the Derma Roller does anything. : )

I also wonder how to get the Doc. to redo or smooth the mess. The contract I signed said they redo after 6 months. I was told it's too soon--- then again told give it time, your sign is not that young- now it's too late to even get a discounted much less do-over free and I can't justify more cash out with no way of knowing it'll fix it!

Sounds like you found the right way out and you're happy now, I'm so happy for you. I don't want the scar associated with the TT, I'm waiting to see if in a few years it's perfected and the scar is much smaller.

I'm curious when others are able to get a re-do or even a completely new procedure without additional cost. I seemed to sign my life away before the procedure. I was told if it was unsatisfactory I could get a re-do by the same doctors after 6 months, but would be charged for the room, nurse, meds & anthesthia. Also, when I did complain, at 4-6-11 months I was told by staff I looked great, give it time... after a year of course- no deal! And why would I let the same Doc and trust them???? I liked my smooth, slightly chubby tummy much better!

I'm going through the same thing . I want my tummy back to . This is a nightmare . Omg

Thank you that's really sweet of you

Thank you for your kind words... it was a pick me up, made me feel better and I agree, no quitting! I just received a Faciablaster, Im curious to see if it will help. Thanks again.

Returned facia, not doing it heck no! Once I had it in my hand I got this sick feeling it wasn't the right thing for me so I didn't even try it just returned it

Kinda glad you didn't try it - in spite of all the glowing reports, I've heard some scary stuff about it. My verdict is not in yet on the Lipo Revision that I had done 1 month ago, since my belly seems to have good days and bad days, lol. I'm trying to be patient, since it supposedly takes three months to see the ALMOST final results. If you haven't seen pictures from my revision yet, they're under my "Still Hoping..." review under JPkid.

I have one of these things. When i use it on my tummy, i swell up soooooo much and it last for bout a week. Only thing i will use it on are my thighs now.

Just loaded a before pic hun

I'm so sorry for what happened to you! I hope something works out for you. If anything, you are more than your body! It's sad how us women put so much pressure on how we look. I look similar to you and go back.and forth rather to risk lipo

Thanks for your suggestion, I will look that up right now.

Hi thanks for your comment, it sounds promising hope it works. Are you wearing a compression garment? doing anything different this time? Please keep me posted and I will definitely follow you if you post. I'm excited for you and hoping for the best.

I'm wearing a compression garment that is totally different from the one the first surgeon gave me. First guy gave me a wrap-around velcro number which constantly rode up or down. This surgeon gave me a full-body thing that looks like shapewear but sturdier - it goes from my knees to just under my breasts and has a large opening for hygiene or whatever so I don't have to keep taking it off each time I go to the bathroom. It hurts a lot more this time around, and drained a LOT, but to me that is promising because it is so different. This surgeon said he took my fat and spun it in some device to "purify" it, whatever that means, so maybe it will take better. I will let you know when I post with pics and a lot more details, hopefully this evening or tomorrow some time.

How did the liposuction revision go ? I'm getting desperate to find a solution . Why do we put our bodies through these things .

Hi, I am one month out, so I'm not sure yet. Some days it looks better, some days I see some ripples and bumps and I panic. I'm going to add pics to my own review this evening - my review is here on RealSelf under JPkid.

I have come to terms with my horrific stomach, thank god I'm happily married because I know I wouldn't be so calm about it. Don't get me wrong I'm very embarrassed about my stomach and my bellybutton looks like it's 80 years old. I've always been skinny with no fat so having a tummy tuck is just so outrageous to me. I don't believe there's a simple solution, I believe a tummy tuck right now is the only solution and I'm not doing that, no way I'm going to accept that terrible scar on my body.

I've got a scare from a surgery years ago and I really don't want to go under the knife again . Have you tried anything else are you have excepted it for what it is

Haven't tried a thing... don't want to end up worst, can you imagine? That's all I need. FYI I'm planning a mini/lower facelift yup lord Jesus I'm praying

Hey! How are you?? How did the revision go? God I pray you're happy now. I've done nothing for my stomach I'm just scared it's going to be worst if I do.

Really? Some say Exilis is a waste of money, I've never tried it and don't know much about but I'll look it up, thank you for the advice

I got some 3D lipo and I lipo done as part of my aftercare and they really made a difference as I had a lot of lumps. I've only had exillis done once. I'm going to have more treatments to help with a funny bit I keep noticing. It's uncomfortable like a really strong massage but it did help. X
