Hi, I received my tummy tuck last August. I am happy with the tummy tuck itself however my scar is awful. It was hypertrophic so my PS had given me two rounds of steroid injections within the last few months. Unfortunately I have noticed various burst blood vessels and I now have what appears to be a dent in the right side where the steroid injections were also used. Can anybody advise me on what to do about this?
I recently had a tummy tuck along with liposuction to flanks hips and back. I follow a lot of Plastic Surgeons on various social media platforms. I came across this one dr who said that wearing a binder after a tummy tuck is dangerous because since you are disconnecting blood flow, you can get into trouble if you compress it. Therefore he does not require his patients to use them. I have never heard of anyone that got a TT that their dr said not to wear one. Please advise if this is necessary.
Ive been having some issues since about 6MPO. The bulge on the right side just above the incision and what seems like saggy skin above the belly button that I didnt have before.around 3-4MPO I was very flat even with the swelling. Now I am just not happy and I have a healthy active lifestyle so it is very frustrating. Thoughts?
Hi I have loose skin on my upper abdomen. I went for a mommy makeover consult with a great surgeon. He felt I was too thin and didnt have enough laxity to justify such a huge operation. Fair and appreciate the honesty. So what can I do? He didnt suggest any lasers. He leans more surgical. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am 40 this year and have a 2.5 year old and 11 month old. So I had back to back babies. 52 and 113 lbs. Thanks.
Hello, Im 55, 54, 123 lbs, and experiencing loss of elasticity of my stomach skin. I dont want fat removed. The second photo Im bending forward at the waist. I really dont want a scar, but any movement other than standing upright and still looks bad. I would like to continue to wear a bikini and not be self-conscious. What do you recommend?
Sagging arms and stomach overhang I have lost 70 lbs over 2.5 years. I'm 64 years old. I exercise on an elliptical and use light weights 4-5x per week. My thighs and butt sag, but I can live with it. What I hate is my arms and lower stomach.
I have been noticing these 2 mini pouches of skin on the end m my tummy tucky scar! It has been an year that I went through the surgery and unfortunately I cant afford them to be removed! Are they going disappear if I lose weight? Thank you!
