Botched TT in 2018. Another surgeon corrected things via LBL in 2019. Nerve damage kept worsening. No nuero has been able to pin point which nerve is damaged. (I was at Hopkins today and told there is nothing that can be done other then CBT and Cymbalta which may not help. I've been medically gaslighted through this. Should I try quaternary care?I'm physically uneven and have pain in my trochanter & piriformis. My scar sits right above it.It's where I have pain.Ideas?
I had a tummy tuck w muscle repair, no lipo. Initially I was pleased with results. Anything is better than rolls on my stomach but after over 2 mnths the bulging on my lower part of abdomen by incision has not gone down and my stomach is not as tight as it initially felt right after surgery. Do you think lipo should fix this or would I need a revision? PS keeps dismissing concerns and says its just swelling and should reside but I have not seen any women look like this. Do I need a 2nd op?
I had a tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair 6 months ago. My belly button, however, is flat, scar is prominent and it is in the shape of an upside down triangle. I was told by my surgeon that nothing can be done the scar can only be revised in a year. I am extremely unhappy about this and can't bare having anyone see my navel. Please advise on if anything can be done? I'm based in johannesburg, any surgeons who specialise in this procedure i could contact?
I had a full tummy tuck and breast reduction 8 days ago and my belly button does not look normal at all to me. I really would like to hear what other think. I have talked to my PS and he said I am stressing to much about it and that it's too early. Please give me feedback!!
I had a tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and at this point I am extremely unhappy about my results. I am only 21 and have never had kids, but I lost around 100 lbs before surgery. I was expecting a tight stomach with no loose skin and right now I still have a large amount of hanging skin. The skin hangs over the sides of my scar and my stomach is not flat. I can also still pull skin away from my sides and upper stomach. What can I do to fix this problem? Is it clear that my surgeon botched my tummy tuck?
2 weeks ago I had a fdl tt, I lost 200 lbs and have alot of excess skin, well for done reason my surgeon didn't go all three way up and says that once I heal my upper roll will go down. Do you think this is true based on the pics? Also why of why did he stop cutting he was 2 inches away from completely the fdl why would he stop? Also if I do need another surgery what kind would be best?
I had my surgery on July 11 .. A full tummy tuck .. I feel I been botched am I over reacting .. Dr states that I'm still recovering and still swollen . My belly button is to low he said because supposedly my belly dint move .. Also he only perform lipo of the flanks .. He says if I loose 20 pounds I will start noticing the difference.. Please tell me if this is a good surgery or not
I had an extended TT, no lipo, no muscle tightening Had seroma, was aspirated 3x a week and 9 times in total before the seroma stayed away. Now I am free of seroma, but I am disappointed. Pre-Op my surgeon warned me that the scar would end up higher than normal. I did not care, as long as my tummy ended up flat. But I am not flat. My body stores no fat below the incision, but does above, and there is no gradual decrease. Will lowering bodyfat% help to look better ? Will this get better ?
I had my tummy tuck with lower muscle repair just over 4 weeks ago. Since about 1 week post op, I noticed quite an overhang above the incision. My surgeon has told me it's because of the swelling... But this never changes!! Not even slightly!! And sometime during the day, I will have my skin squish together and my belly button looks like a line with the skin.. Is this normal for 4 weeks p/o? Or did he not take enough skin off?? I feel totally disgusting and hate the results so far.
I had a botched lipo procedure 10 yrs ago which has left me with severe irregularites. I had 2 subsequent revision lipo procedures to try to get improvement. I'm now 2 mos. post op from last procedure which has left me with worse results because of scar tissue. Feels so tight and hurts terribly when I stretch. I would like to know if I can get the scar tissue removed somehow via a tummy tuck by lifting the skin away from all of the adhesions and lay it back down so that it appears more smooth.
