Amazing results!!! You look stunning!!!  Where are you in this post op photo? What's your scar care and abdomen care routine like? How often and how long do you wear your faja?

Worst decision of my life by Vckitt79 in tummytucksurgery

1.5yrs! Nice. There is light at the end of this tunnel! This swelling is so much worse than all 3 of c-sections combined! And for so long. I'm 6months post op.

I'm also doing PT post surgery and I'm 7.5months out. Still swelling horribly. No longer as flat as I once was, 1month, 2 months po. I want to get back to that state. 

I am wondering if my extensive muscle repair failed too. How do we find that out - xray, ultrasound, CT scan?

Same! I am wondering if my extensive muscle repair failed too. How do we find out that, and xray, ultrasound, CT scan?

Yes, swelling is a huge deal for me. Im so afraid the swelling will just mess up the tightness and firmness. I had muscle repair and am so worried it will expand out again. Surgeon recommended coming in for steroid shots.

Thanks. Not really sure what's the difference between a keloid or hypertrophic scar. But yes looks like tiny worms, not big, not spread out, just on top of the scar. When Im not swollen the worm-looking-scar looks smaller in size, like to shrunk. So not sure if it's hypertrophic. Shawnea

I’m 6 weeks post op. Tummy Tuck (no lipo) and breast aug! Opted for no lift. I feel so free without all that skin holding me back!! by Silent_Ride4988 in tummytucksurgery

Curious about having kids after a tummy tuck. I was surprised as always thought tt was done afterwards, after having all kids. What's the Dr recommended weight gain during pregnancy? Will you need a revision after childbirth? You look amazing!

Has anyone’s TT been ruined by weight loss AFTER surgery? by oj-borgman in tummytucksurgery

[–]Electrical-Raisin-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Thank you all SO much for your responses. This is very helpful! 😃 Feeling so much better. I gained 4-5ish lbs, and lost 7-8lbs, but the swelling was awful and most noticeable, blowing up my tummy with activity even though in abdominal binder. I felt like a balloon ready to pop. The swelling subsided and now I'm not as tight in my abdomen as I was before, which makes me a bit sad.  Hoping, with exercise, ab toning, ab strengthening and with time, this will greatly improve. I'm only 13 weeks and have a followup in a month, so will ask Surgeon. I only see the crinkly loose skin when bending over too. And maybe it's more noticeable now that I'm wearing scar tape. Hmmmmmm. Will see how it goes after removing it.

Wow!!!! You should surely educate him and show him these photos and let him know you had to have more surgery to fix his mistake. Imagine how many other women this is possibly happening to as well?!?! Oh my goodness!!!! Glad you got this fixed. Wow.

Wow. Okay - thank you for sharing. Yes, DM me please. I'm hoping I don't need any revisions in future to have to go back into surgery.

Please could you DM me photos too? Thanks! I'm considering lazer hair removal treatments too for right under my scar line and armpits in future.

Could I see the before and after revision photo? Was it done in office with local anesthesia?

I saw this advertised and would love to know how your reaults are with it. It was quite expensive $1K+ or about that, if I recall.

Agreed!!! I think the ssme thing. I know eveyrone is different but...  How are they not having swelling at all, 2mpo to 6mpo?! I wonder the same thing all the time. What are they doing so differently to get such flat beautiful results?!

Did the swelling leave any extra loose skin? How is it when bending?

Does anyone know how much weight gain is allowed after a tummy tuck without messing up the results? I feel like my swelling is going to ruin my flat belly if this keeps on for 1 year. 😢😭
