I have a bulge in my lower abdomen that's worse on my right side. My PCP sent me to get a CT scan but it doesn't show anything abnormal. I'm so confused what's going on wit my lower abdomen this far out after surgery?
10 months since I had a full tummy tuck and liposuction only on my flanks. I am unhappy with the results due to the lines and unevenness of my skin. My stomach is soft and there are no hard areas. My surgeons conclusion is that the lines are a strange result from the small cannula used to insert anesthetic during the procedure. He has offered to try to correct it, but admits I could be left with a worse result. What options are there and are they likely to leave a smooth result.
I had a tummy tuck in Dec 2021. At 10.5 months post-op, I am 95% thrilled with the results. I have been treating my scar with silicone tape and I also massage the area often. My scar is mostly invisible, except for the area pictured. What can I do to improve the appearance of this section of my scar? I'm particularly concerned with the raised/red area. Thank you!
I am female, hispanic, 45 years old. I am concerned with my surgery. I was expecting to be more flat with no belly. I am still super swollen. My surgeon says I am bloated. I don't think people should be bloated and look like this after a mayor tummy tuck and lipo. Please let me know what you think? I still going to be swollen for more time?? Or is my swelling going to come down?
I had a tummy tuck 10 months ago. Ive had issues with the colour of the skin in the center of my stomach since the procedure (area circled in pic). When I work out or shower, this area is very noticeably darker than the rest of my skin (seems to be related to heat). Ive recently started tanning and the same area will not tan as much as the rest of my skin, which is fairly noticeable in the pic. What is going on? Will this improve?
10mpo tummy tuck. I have firm feeling on left side. My pcp sent me to a local general surgeon for follow up. He ordered a ultrasound of abdomen that only showed thickness of muscle on that side. What causes this? I'm thinking I just had a poor choice with my ps. This firmness is causing bulge which was thought to be a hernia. Can someone help??? Any advice is welcomed.
