I had a full tummy tuck in January 2015. My doctor charged $8,000+ and promised a flat stomach. It's clear that I need lipo now. He said it would cost $100 for anesthesia. But then I get the quote that says I need to pay for the $600 Operating Room fee. I feel saddened by the fact that I paid so much up front and promised a flat stomach. Can't plastic surgeons eat some of this cost in order to make their patients happy? If I owned a business and my clients weren't happy I'd fix it for free.
Hello, is it normal to swell above my incision line 1 1/2 yrs after tummy tuck? Ive had this issue since the beginning. Ive consulted with my surgeon several times regarding this, but he says its normal. But i look at other results and they dont swell like i do. Im happy with my results with the exception of the lower part of my tummy. When getting ready for an event, i will go without eating so that my lower tummy part doesnt stick out so much.
I had a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening 4 months ago. My PS created fake abs (I was not aware he was going to do this. Needless to say, I ended up with this bulgy look. I had a recent follow up visit with my PS and he says he could do touch up lipo in the mid section. Is this common and what are the chances of me getting ripples due to liposuction? I've seen botched liposuctions on the abdomen and wondering what causes the ripples. Advice? Recommendations?
I have fat pockets on my hips. I want those taken out. I had a problem with necrosis of my flap after my tt, but have healed well. My Dr took great care of me. I really do feel like I've come along way from where I started. If this is something I can get rid of my own with diet and exercise I would, but when you touch my sides they are jiggly. I have sent several pictures including a before shot so you can see where I started to where I am now. I was hoping touch up Lipo on my sides will fix it.
