sorry about the typos... was in a rush and I cant find the edit button.
I am having some of the same issues. I'm now 5 weeks out and still swollen. I am wearing two binders and spanks. I have been depressed for the last 3 weeks, because I'm afraid, I have to have another surgery since I'm retaining fluid. Hang in there, it going to be ok, were going to get through this together!
Thanks you for your support. Keep in touch. I too have some days of total depression.
I had the same thing happen to me in South Carolina. I had the surgery two years ago and it looks bad. My stomach always look full and I still have spasms. After going to 3 or 4 plastic surgeons for a second opinion I was finally told the hump is because my suctures were not started up to the were started like midways my stomach. This causes my stomach to poke out and the spasms because my muscles are not completely sutured down. Unfortunately I have to have a second surgery in December. It's disappointing and a waste of money! I feel your pain.
Im so sorry honey. Thanks for reaching out. I am a SC girl too.
I went to see Dr Rose for a consultation. I found him to be a very rude doctor with no bedside manner. He looked at his watch during the consult after 10 minutes. I asked him if he could lipo a bit more from a lipo another surgeon did that no longer did lipo. He blew me off and said the skin would hand in that small area not even suggesting a tummy tuck. After reading your review I guess I should consider myself lucky. I wish you luck that you will find a surgeon who can fix it. I guess you will have to wait till you heal more. Best to you
Did you have a full tuck or a mini? Sorry to hear about your complication.
IT WAS CALLED A MINI - BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A FULL TT
How are you doing. Thanks for caring. He called it a mini tummy tuck, it was a lot of surgery for my body. I swell much more than most and take longer to heal. I am loosing more of the swelling now lately. Thanks.
If it was a mini then the doctor didn’t fix the muscles and that’s why they stick out. Get some of your money back. Some of these doctors are so lazy. For all the money they are making they should do the job right.

113 lbs and had very bad torn muscles from pregnancy. Dr. Rose makes the best scars. Im so skinny now - finally. I dieted and dieted and couldn't make my tummy tight and tiny like it was before I got pregnant. I was extremely swollen after surgery and didn't think my results where going to be good. After 5 weeks out I can finally say that the surgery was worth it!!!! I had a complication of fluid that has to be sucked out and Dr. Rose is going to fix it for free without hesitation. He looks hot in his scrubs too.... wowza lol

Thank you for joining us in the community. It does take a while for the swelling to go down and settle.  Glad to hear you are doing better now.  This is a crazy recovery but one well worth it.

I saw Dr Rose for a consult and I found him to not have the best bedside manner. I spoke to him about my concern and he kept looking at his watch. That totally turned me off so I'm not going to be having anything done by him. He was very short and I found him to be quite rude. Also while in the waiting room their was someone who worked in the office on the phone with a patient concerned about a procedure she had done and by what I heard asking her questions about whatever she was worried about. The way she spoke with her was t the nicest or professional This is only my opinion but I wouldn't want to deal with that doctor or practice so I will find someone who I feel fits me I want a doctor who makes me feel that they are invested in my case
I hope you found the right doc 4 you - I am very disappointed with my out come.
NOT WORTH IT - I NEED MORE SURGERY.
Wow! Thank you so much for this review , I hope by now your tummy is fine and you are happy. I have to get it done but I never considered Dr. Rose even though he is around the corner, he just didnt come into my head at all. I am going to go to Dr. Greco when the time is right....
Still waiting for swelling to go down...
