Still waiting - I am still not completely happy with my results

After 5 children, I was finally ready for my tummy tuck w/diastasis repair. I also had loose skin from having 5 heavy babies. I've always been pretty active in exercising. I saw 3 doctors, I was referred to Dr. Quigley by one of my personal, long time doctors.

Everything went well, I woke up in pain, but the nurses gave me pain medicine that made me more comfortable. Surgery was about 3 hours and after that, my husband took me home. Let me say that my incision was way too high. I guess I kind of just let her do her thing since she was the pro. She said she had to really push my intestines back in since my muscle gap was so large.

Over the last 3 months, I have been complaining of loose skin, which she said everyone has. Let me tell you that I have seen thousands of photos where it was done right the 1st time around.

Now, at 3 months I am still not completely happy with my results. I have loose skin right under my belly button which is not aligned with my stomach line so it looks a little off. I have puffy skin on the right of my belly button. One can see that my stomach is not taut and does not flow from my abs to my hips. It's like a hump where I guess not enough skin was removed. I also noticed that my muscles should have been pulled in more right under my ribcage down because it still looks like a little bump to me.

Don't get me wrong, Dr. Quigley is a really good doctor. Her incision is great. Smooth in some places and can barely tell anything happened.

Last follow-up, about a month ago she said she would re-assess me and if need be she would do an in-office procedure to cut away the excess loose skin around my belly button and below it. I will update you soon and upload pictures.

You can see loose skin under my belly button. Also my incision line is to high. It is only covered when I wear high waisted pants. My panties do not even cover it. I'll add more photos soon. Hope this helps someone.

These are pictures showing my incision line is too high above my waist line. I can ONLY wear high waist to cover it wearing a crop top. Also, you can see some left over loose, saggy skin. You can also notice that my stomach sticks out about 3 inches above my belly button on down to my pubic area. I walk 2 miles every other day. I get on my recumbent bike and I run on my treadmill. I go back around the 9th of November so I will update you guys as far as the in office procedure and what she can do to rectify the issues.
