Tummy Tuck and Implant Replacement Gone Wrong

Sharing my results after 4 months. Along with my Tummy Tuck I also had a breast implant revision. My right breast incision opened and my abdominal incision also opened. Not happy with my results. I lost my belly button and now after 4 months the only thing the doctor can say is that I need to loose weight. I haven’t been able to do real workouts since mid August due to the surgery and open wounds. The swelling I experience can’t be normal. I didn’t suffer from this prior to surgery. I feel as if the doctor is not giving me any solutions. My breast don’t look even either. I went in for a revision and he told me “there is only so much of the old scar I could remove”. I was charged for a breast revision and the results are not there. I’m very unhappy. I’m experiencing pain where the drains are located and every visit I bring it up it gets overlooked.

I had a tummy tuck in June and my stomach wasn't completely flat. My doctor told me it wouldn't be because I had upper abdominal fat and he doesn't lipo the top with the tummy tuck. I went back in October and got the lipo done and I love my results. My incision also opened I didn't get it fixed but I'm going to get a tattoo over it. It look as if lipo might help with your results. Good luck on your journey.

Wanted to come on this platform and let everyone know Dr. Chang has worked up a plan to do some revisions to improve my results. Pearl has also been very helpful with this process. I’m thankful that they are working on a plan to make sure I do have the results I wanted and was hoping for. My right breast has dropped more than my left breast. Not sure if this is a result of the open incision that took forever to close. I have lost the weight he told me to loose. I’m able to get on my stationary bike now and have a normal work out. Any abdominal workout still hurts but he did recommend some moves to me during my last visit and I’m thankful for that. I still experience swelling but not as bad as I used to. He did put together a plan to revise my breast to fix the fact that they don’t look even and they also look like I have a bump they are not evenly round. For sure the cleavage I was wanting is not there. The pain in the area with the drains is still there not as strong as it was before but still there. I will continue to update my review as the revisions happen. Bottom line - Thank you Dr. Chang you are great for reviewing my situation and providing me with solutions. I can’t wait for all this to happen and finally see my real results. Thanks again!!!
