I am 13 days post-op for tummy tuck to correct diastasic recti & hernia repair.My surgeon removed the dressing so I could see the incision for the first time 3 days ago. I was shocked @ what I saw. I was not expecting so many lumps & bumps. My Dr says this will all smooth out within 3-6 months but I don't see how that's possible. Can you explain if it is normal for an incision to look like this, & how it will smooth out? All pics that I see online look like just a normal line, not all bunchy.
Im 4 days PO (its early. I know). Ive done a lot of research on bunching or pleating. I still feel like mine is an extreme case. Im trying to encourage myself that these pleats will fade over time, yet I cant shake the feeling Ill have to have a revision. My tummy tuck was due to a hysterectomy scar/scar revision. I received a fully tummy with muscle repair. I used a Military Plasic surgeon. Im concerned. What should I expect?
I had a tummy tuck eight days ago and I'm extremely concerned about how my skin is bunching on the sides of the incision I am using the scar cream sold to me by the surgeon twice a day however I am worried that this bunching is not going to be resolved even overtime
I just had a tummy tuck on July 24th and when I took off my binder I saw that my skin was bunched up in the middle of my abdomen by my incision. I'm just a little concerned and want to know if this is normal I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post op visit
I tried calling the PS but have not gotten a response. Not sure traveling to Miami for sx was smart. Maybe being in home state would produce better response. I am 17 days post TT. I have a bunching of skin at the end of my incision. It looks and feels like maybe it's stitched too tight. Will this go away when the swelling goes down? What can I do to help it heal? Should I be concerned? Will I need more sx?
