I am going to a better surgeon to get a revision - it has been 2 years
$6,000
I had my revision on Nov 1 - with Dr. Chevalier (NY). He starts all his patients on a round of healing vitamins two weeks prior to surgery and then post surgery as well. So far the experience has been like a used car (Ganchi) versus a Lamborghini (Chevalier) The degree of care, attention, skill and professionalism is like night and day!

Not the result I expected....
I'm at the 5 month mark...and I'm surprised at all the excess skin and continual "puffy look" to the whole thing. If you look at my pre pics you won't see ANY wrinkles. Not sure why I have them now. Seeing surgeon next week...I wonder if I am going to need a revision - very very unhappy right now.

Wow, I'd be super bummed too. I can't even see a TT scar, did they just do a small skin excision or something? I hope you get answers soon.

There is a scar....just like a C-section...but I never had a C-section so this is a brand new scar.

My before pictures looked like your and I am also very fit I had diastasis recti, which is when the abdominal wall departed in pregnancy. I didn't have any wrinkled either just a big belly from diastasis and the look of being bloated. I think your doctor just performed a TT and Didntt correct the underlying problem which seems to be diastasis. I have a review here. Read it and you will see the simarities. You can write me arriviste message if u want. I'm also in NJ.
