What are my options for removing the muffin top I have been left with after tummy tuck? 3 months post op but got a feeling I'm going to have to start saving for some kind of revision. Or will this eventually go down? I feel more like it's excess fat rather than swelling as it flabby not hard. 26 years old 6 foot It also seems to be worsening
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo on outer and inner thighs and back, and a breast explant with a revision and lift. I have a follow up with my surgeon later this week. He is one of the best in the area and works at arguably the best plastic surgery office in the area. I am in the aesthetics industry and did my research ahead of time. Maybe he had an off day? Maybe it's me? I would appreciate feedback if these are valid concerns and would warrant a revision in your opinion.
I am 38, 5'3 and weigh 130 lbs. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair done 13 weeks ago. It was covered by insurance and called a panniculectomy because of how much weight I lost. I do not think he removed nearly enough skin and I am very unhappy with my results. Im having a hard time deciding if I should get a revision or not. I know I need one. I just cant decide if its medically smart given the complications I had with this surgery.
Hello. I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago in another country and for about a month I feel like there is something unstable in my upper stomach area. I have seen that also about a month I have a small bulge between my rib cage. Id like to know what medical tests I can do to find out if I tore the muscle repair. Thank you in advance for the answers.
Thank you for your time. I am 3 months out post abdominoplasty and liposuction and I never really had a flat stomach after the surgery. My stomach is flat when I lay down, but I am wondering if I even had my diastasis recti repaired? I never felt hunched over after surgery and I never felt like I tore any stitches. I've had a lymphatic massage which softened the area but I am no flatter. I previously had lap band surgery but the surgeon was aware. Does this look like a revision is required?
I had TT w/MR on 9/12/18 for a large diastasic recti repair. I am 5'2 and 125lbs, so obviously not overweight. The surgery went well and I am now 12 weeks post op. My stomach is flat, but when I get up from a laying down position my stomach is making a cone shape again and I can feel a gap and separation that was once tightly closed after surgery. My PS advised a revision with mesh reinforcement. He thinks my fascia might be too fragile and the sutures are tearing through. Advice?
In 2009 I had a full tummy tuck. I was happy however I did not like my belly button and the remaking stretch marks. In 2017 I had another child. After her birth my stomach still looked good and flat. 3 months ago I had a full tummy tuck revision to remove the remaking stretch marks and give a new belly button. I am truly disappointed because now my stomach has more marks all over it and looks as it did at 5 Months pregnant. My stomach looked much better before this revision. Very disappointed.
Had TT revision in April and now have this lump on the right side of my bb. I initially had a seroma form 3 days after surgery but my PS said it was very small and would absorb on it's own. Since I had my surgery in another country I have only communicated with my PS through email. I sent him pictures and he suggested I inject metilprednisolona will this help? I do have to admit that I have continued aspirations myself, now it's only about 10cc's that come out and it's a pink colored liquid. HELP!!
Ithree months post op tt and lipo flanks.whats involved in a revision and how long is the recovery have a pouch left side above incision that has not gone down due to a seroma that was dealt with but has left indurated tissue . Defiantly no more fluid left one side is flat but other sticks out and I know its too soon but how long do I need to wait before I can deal with this and what would it involve ? Would it go with cannula ? Or wold the incision have to be opened again ?
