my procedure was done 1 1/2 years ago, I still experience a sensation of tightness in the abdominal area. it is uncomfortable but not painful. My surgeon continues to tell me there is no problem. Should I be more concerned?
Hi there, I had a tummy tuck in August 2022 and then lipo on the area in November 2023 - my scar line is now saggy when I sit - the surgeon said this is normal and everyone gets this. I had lipo after because he recommended I do so as I wasnt too big to start. Can you please advise? The skin feels so lose - will it recede back? Ive also put a pic of before, after TT and then now. Thank you
I am almost a year and a half post tummy tuck. When I lean forward or am on my hands and knees, the skin is severely loose and looks like udders. I had a muscle repair along with this tummy tuck and some liposuction. I went back to my PS and did not get any answers that I felt really helped me figure out why this happened or what we could do to fix it. I love how I look standing up and in clothing but when I am bending over, its pretty gross looking and Im very disappointed.
I had my surgery 11/2021. Had some complications with my incision. It got infected. They had to dig the staples out. When they took the anchor it left a big hole in the center. Was sorta a nightmare. My doctor didnt recommend massages. Said they were not needed. Now I have this weird pooch that sticks out. Is there a reason why and a way to fix it?
18 months post tummy tuck I still have consist hardness, limp causing discomfort in my abs. Prior to the surgery I had three consultation with different consultants. All of which stated my abs were fine and no repair was required. I personally couldnt feel any separation. Fast forward to after surgery, the pain was horrendous as apparently I had 4 cm gap so repair was done. Ever since ive had internal lump and if a tense it bulge out above navel. My consultant has given no explanation
Hello! Had ETT with MR 4/15/22. My left side of my incision constantly hurts in a small area. Ive been on to see my ps because I swear I thought I had opened internally in that spot. He doesn't think so and gave me a shot in my incision at that area of steroid and nerve block in which I almost came off the table screaming in pain. He said that its a nerve or its scar tissue the nerve is stuck in/around. What else could it be?!! Does this sound accurate of what Im experiencing? Im so over it
Is it possible for skin and muscle to not reattach? Im 1 year and 6 months post op and when laying down I can push on one part of my stomach and my whole stomach will jiggle it feels deep like its deep under but it doesnt do it while standing its actually pretty tight when standing up first notice at about 3 months post op went to the doctor and seroma was ruled out my doctor actually felt nothing was wrong however I know my stomach shouldnt do that
I had my tummy tuck in April of 2021. In August of 2021 my belly button began oozing and my doctor determined that I was spitting a stitch. It finally came out in April of 2022. Since then, I have had two more areas (one above and one bellow my belly button) open up. They ooze the same way my belly button continues to, but no stitches have come from either of those sites. I am becoming impatient with wearing gauze every day. Is this normal?
Hello, Im 38 yo. Mum of 3 all by c-section. Im 155 cm tall and 50.5 kg. I have had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a soft lipsuction as I requested from my surgeon 18 months ago. Since then, Ive been having mixed emotions about the look of my tummy. Its too flat that it does not have those natural feminine curves. Like its one level from above and below the belly button! I could not understand why is that and wheather it can be fixed either surgically or by working out. Pls advise
So it's been 1 year and 3 months since ive had my tummy tuck procedure with liposuction. Honestly, i am blown away by the result, i didn't think it was going to be this good but i still feel a lot of tigthness, y stomach feels like a rubber (resistance band) and it just seems like its getting worse and not better everyday. Is it likely, that this will disappear? I mean i knew that i was gonna have a little bit of numbness even after i heal but this is kind of too much.
