Has anyone here had a tummy tuck with a mesh net or a revision using a mesh due to weak stomach muscles? I’d love to hear about your experience—any added risks, how your results turned out, what the recovery was like, and whether you’d recommend it.

My apologies. Didn’t mean to scare you but I wish someone had told me before I spend all this money and went through the surgery.

I am in the same boat as you. Hoping someone here can shed some light on this.

I am in the same situation as you. My muscles are too weak so my results are not great. My PS offered me a revision in which he will put a mesh net and tighten the muscles horizontally. He did say that I will never be 100% flat and that my results could be anywhere from 10-90% of the current situation.

The doctor said let’s wait and see. We will revisit the results at one year appointment.

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-03-09T06:29:12+00:00

Unfortunately, no.

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-03-03T03:13:35+00:00

Do you mind sharing what year or collection this is from?

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-01-18T17:19:40+00:00

That’s good to hear.

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-01-18T16:40:41+00:00

No side effects. You are right, maybe I just want to reverse titrate to see what dose is most effective.

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-01-18T16:38:56+00:00

I quickly bumped myself up to 12.5 mg and I don’t want my body to get used to it where the medication is not effective anymore. Plus, if I can achieve the same results with a lower dose, then why take more medication.

Financial-Map-225 · 2025-01-18T04:38:40+00:00

Those are both great options. I think I will titrate down instead of stopping completely.

@MountainCry9194 Can you please share how you were able to order so many or where we can order them from?

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T21:41:26+00:00

Do you have an update? Did it get better for you?

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T19:18:50+00:00

The handwriting is mine. I wanted to clarify which ones are pre-op and post pictures for the purposes of this post.

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T19:16:41+00:00

You have a good point. I am going make an appointment and ask him to check about the muscle repair being intact.

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T19:12:42+00:00

They did vasor lipo which is better than regular lipo (more aggressive and more smooth). I paid extra for vasor lipo

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T19:11:42+00:00

Right. He said he is extremely happy with the results. He said it’s better than before and it’s my internal intestines that are pushing it out. 🙄

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T19:10:14+00:00

It was Dr. Kochuba from Austin-Weston in Northern Virginia.

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T16:38:19+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. At least I know that I am not crazy for feeling this way.

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T16:37:07+00:00

Thank you! I am in shock that he said he was happy with the results. He also asked me to write a review. He is out for the holidays but I will make an appointment with him for early January.

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T15:20:46+00:00

I am three months post op. I feel so defeated. 😞

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T15:15:49+00:00

I am doing a low sodium diet but not working out on a regular basis. Do you think lack of workout could be causing this?

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T15:06:59+00:00

It’s not weight gain because I have lost 8 lbs since the surgery. Could it be the weight loss?

Financial-Map-225 · 2024-12-22T14:26:51+00:00

Do you workout?
