I got a tummy tuck/bbl at the end of 2022, only recently have I discovered this line above my belly button that is specifically noticeable when I sit down. It was never there before the surgery and was not there last summer. It's not an incision mark or scar, its loose and soft. I have stayed within 10 pounds of the weight I was when I got the surgery. I am so confused as to why this has happened. What is going on?
Am I a candidate for a mini? l was hoping to just do lipo 360 but from what I am reading I may need a tuck. I want to prepare mentally for my consults and find someone willing to save my tattoo from removal. 5 4', 35 ,150 ,30 inch waist 36 inch lower stomach
I recently had a tummy tuck along with liposuction to flanks hips and back. I follow a lot of Plastic Surgeons on various social media platforms. I came across this one dr who said that wearing a binder after a tummy tuck is dangerous because since you are disconnecting blood flow, you can get into trouble if you compress it. Therefore he does not require his patients to use them. I have never heard of anyone that got a TT that their dr said not to wear one. Please advise if this is necessary.
During a consultation I have been told by a surgeon that I qualify for a full Tummy Tuck with a shorter scar. So more extensive than a mini Tummy Tuck where my belly button would be redone because loose skin be pulled from the top down but with a smaller incision than a usual TT. My fear is this may not remove all the loose skin I want and leave me with uneven bulges if the hip area loose skin is not taken along with fat removal if required? Im 49kg and 5ft 1 are my fears correct?
Hi. I never really thought of this. Im ok if my TT scar will have keloid because it can be hidden but how about my belly button? And if it becomes keloid, aside from laser, how can it be reduced? Im a keloid former.
I have been noticing these 2 mini pouches of skin on the end m my tummy tucky scar! It has been an year that I went through the surgery and unfortunately I cant afford them to be removed! Are they going disappear if I lose weight? Thank you!
I am 3 years post TT with MR. I still swell daily and it gets really hard and swelling can be painful to the touch. Is the shelf like appearance of my tummy due to poor healing of my scar and build up of scar tissue internally? And if so, would a revision address this? A massage therapist told me this is lymph that can't drain because of my scar, could a revision improve this?
I just had a full tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks, hips, medial thigh and knees. I have a lot of banaging under my compression garment and was wondering how often should the bandaging be changed. Also, how do I care for the new belly button? Mine was packed with some yellow gauze and I was told to leave that in there until my next visit which is in a week. I just need some help with understanding this process. Thank youl
I have a thin body with little bit or skin to remove but my abs are completely open my stomach has a bulge that even if I suck it in it wont go flat , a surgeon told me is my organs than even if he does a tummy tuck it will help but the organs will still pop out. Does this make sense ? Will this happen
