I am 55, 126lbs. My weight hasnt changed since my procedure. I think that my procedure didnt work for some reason. I had a small bump before the surgery and I still have a bump, its just lower. I am so disappointed because now I also have scars! Also, I hate my belly button! Its discolored, bumpy and looks unnatural. It had been 6 months since my procedure. What do you think went wrong? What can I do to get a flat tummy?
I had my tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and I feel that my swelling is not getting any better or its a very slow process. Beneath my belly button is a bit uneven. Ive read that it can take up to 6-12 months to get the full effect but to to me I cant see much of a difference as of yet. Ive added before and after pics
My lower belly feels nice and tight. The top how ever is lose and giggly. My Dr is amazing and I have email his staff and they assure me it will go down that it is swelling. They are all amazing and I don't want to keep bugging them with my insecurities so I thought I would ask here. I thought swelling would be firm and come and go but this has not changed since the day I came home And it really makes me feel unattractive and sad. I am trying to give it time but it's hard
Abdominoplasty with MR and lipo performed 5/6/16. Great results and easy recovery. Swelling of mons went down a bit over the first 6 weeks, but then no improvement. I wore Spanx every day and my compression wrap every night for 3 months, then gave up. Some days I swear it's getting worse. Swimsuits, tight skirts and leggings look terrible--like I have a penis. My weight has remained stable. PS says he did some liposuction of mons during surgery. Could he do more? I am 55 yo, 5'2, 125#.
I had a tummy tuck in September with lipo on the flanks. But there are no visible holes whatsoever on my back near the flanks. Do some doctors perform flank lipo from the same tummy tuck incision of the lower abdomen? My flanks don't seem to look much different than they did originally.
I'm 12 months PO from a TT with MR & lipo to your flanks. I've always been a bit baffled as to why I didn't have any incision marks or bruising considering I had lipo to my flanks. I asked my surgeon who told me that he lipo'ed my flanks while he was performing my tummy tuck through my tummy tuck incision. Essentially, he'd done it from the inside. Is this something that's done often? The reason I ask is because my flanks haven't changed size OR shape at all since my tummy tuck..,
I got a TT and lipo with MR and a BL11 days ago. The doctor marked my areas that were getting lipo but I see absolutely no change in those areas. I had no bruising at all a little on my breasts and around the incision. My hubby had lipo done and he had 4 places where this same doctor went in and I dont have any. I am worried that the doctor didn't do the lipo because that day he was running an hour and a half behind. how do I know if he did it? I feel like I still have the same love handles.
i had a tummy tuck 4 days ago, i'm feeling great and dont feel swollen at all...maybe a litle bit on the hips but nothing around the tummy area. but i dont feel smaller. i look the same size, i took my measurements which is 84 cm and it is exactly the same as before the surgery. will it get better? am i swollen without knowing it? or it is just that not everybody gets a better waist? I feel very frustrated about this. it was so expensive and i still look fat.
