14 months post op and my stomach has never laid flat. I am worried that Ill always have this ridge above my incision. What is the fix for this? Im scheduled for an ultrasound Tuesday to see what the status of hard seroma is. Could that be part of it?
I wore the compression garments as advised I have approximately a 2-4 rounded, thick hard ridge along the incision that protrudes when I lay down, very hard. I saw it soon after surgery & while i was wearing compression. My surgeon seemed uncomfortable, but said it was just me, my body, nothing to be done. Now he says it is the repair but will not elaborate on that, & i do not think it will go down at all. It took all the $ I had as a single mom I just wanted to feel better about myself.
I am 5 weeks post op. I have two deep pleats that create a pouch in my low belly and a ridge going up toward breast line. My surgeon says its looking good and that the pleats will go away around month 3. He isnt sure what has created the ridge of soft looser skin on my left though I think it has do with the pleats as that one is much deeper than the other. I see other tummy tuck pics at 1 montg where things seem much flatter and smooth and it makes me nervous.
I have a very unnatural and protruding ridge that my surgeon said could only be fixed with a ETT. tried pulling up as if I had had an extended TT, it was still there. I want to get this fixed now, in case I need the fat to fill in, so I can move along to my weight loss journey of losing 30 pds., and am willing to travel. A surgeon that does cellulaze, or can help minimize cellulite is a plus, so I can check that off my list. TYIA!
I'm 6 weeks post op and had a small amount of lipo and bruising at the ends of my incision. How long will the puffiness and lumpiness last? I also have swelling and a harde ridge right above the center of the incision about 4 inches on either side. Also a slightly puffy under one rib cage and will tend to swell when I've done too much... not sure if it's visible in the photos. My belly button is healing but seems red and shiny, could this be from the swelling?
What bothers me is the ridge or puffy little roll that fallows the incision along the top. The very outer ends are smooth and really barely visible. when my PS saw it he told me everything looks exactly like it's supposed to and this would go away. What bothers me is I can't find a single picture in this site that have the same ridge I do. That makes me uncomfortable.
