This makes me reconsider getting a tummy tuck. I went for a consult and he said I’d need a hip to hip incision and invest in a walker cause if I am straight up right or sneeze I’d pop the stitches internally. Same with another video I watched of yours about breast lifts I asked him what options are available and he said I needed a inverted anchor. My breast aren’t that low but he said that’s the only option he’d provide and I don’t like the results with those plus he wanted to do 550 cc in silicone and I was looking just to make my breast fuller, like when I was breast feeding. I like that you seem more accommodating and informative than most plastic surgeons. You seem to really care not only about results but pleasing your patients.

Another issue the a TT will help with is to repair ab muscles to work better. Duh right. No guys, for years I wondered why my back, specifically my lower back was hurting so much. I blamed giving birth and day in with kids all day. No! when ever I did work around the house and kids I couldn’t use my ab muscles bc they had been severely separated. So I ended up using the only muscle I had left...my back muscle, specifically lower back. They say strengthen your core, well mine was messed up. I tried to use my legs to do work daily but my legs needed my core’s help. So I ended up using my back muscles instead. 😭

But I have some areas of hard tissue under the scar. I had five sessions of lymphatic massage over three months beginning three months after the surgery. I also have been rubbing cocoa butter in the area and using a hand massager along the scar but not every day. It may be improving some recently. My question: will the hard scar tissue resolve completely at some point?

scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width.

@barrettplasticsurgery3 жыл бұрын
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors. Generally speaking, protein intake is very important after surgery to improve wound healing.

At this stage I’m just gathering info on what to look for and what to avoid etc. I’m from Australia, I’ve decided to have my surgery in Aus. I did think about the overseas option but weighing up everything, it makes sense to keep it local. I do have a question about loosened skin around the back, back of hips etc. I’m looking for a surgeon performing lipo and full tummy tuck at the same time. Will they be able to remove the fat and excess skin around that area of the hip and back?

I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

insurance companies don't cover the cost of tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation. These procedures are considered elective cosmetic procedures.

Dr Barrett, I really want a tummy tuck. I have had three children and my belly button is saggy and I have some stretch marks around it my concern is that I don't have a lot of excess skin. I am a size 4 as i run a lot but I have a separation of muscles all the way to my ribs about 4cm can you fi x the muscles if i do not have enough skin for a full tummy tuck? How can i tell if I have enough skin? I dont have any fat on my tummy either i have an incision from a c-section so ideally would like the tummy tuck to go along the same scar if I am a candidate is this possible?

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your description, it sounds like you might be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Dr. Barrett, I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago to remove a very large tumor. My OBGYN did a nice bikini incision and proceeded to separate my skin from my fascia to make additional cuts to remove my fallopian tubes. When I was in recovery, he mentioned that he repaired by diastasis recti. Three years later, I still have a lot of sensitivity (he said I was a bleeder and he had to cauterize quite a bit). Is the sensitivity normal? I did not have drainage tubes. And what would be the process to see what's going on in there and insure that everything is okay or better than okay? I get that he is not a plastic surgeon, but I figured he had done this before and had been successful since he felt comfortable doing this procedure. I'm sure he didn't do plycation. I was not overweight and didn't have any extra skin, before or after. I have always been underweight and gain 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Went back to being thin, no more than 115lbs. Now in my forties, I am at 150lbs due to no exercise because of fear of what might be going on under my skin and stress from finding more tumors in other parts of my body.Thanks!

it is really hard to tell without knowing what exactly was done and without an examination. It would be best to contact your ob/gyn who did the surgery and get an examination. Other options might be US or MRI in order to visualize the abdominal muscles

I want to come to your office for a consult. I do have a question. I have had another consult and only met with a consultant specialist not the surgeon. This made me uncomfortable because she was telling me what could be and would be done versus a surgeon visible seeing and explaining to me reality vs my hopes.

@chrissynelson4065 Thanks. It was wonderful. This video helped me so much. $500 worth every penny of that exparel. I can't even say how long it lasted for ME cause I didn't feel no pain after until they took the drains out 2 weeks later, Now that hurt a lot when they pulled those suckers out. I had 2 pulled one week later and the other pair 2 weeks after. uff, lol. THAT was the worst part for me honestly. I recommend Exparel to anyone that will get a TT.

Is it normal to be hard under the skin along (above) the incision and up to the bellybutton? I was drainless when I went home. I am 17 dpo and just very uncomfortable and the hardness is very sore in the area below my belly button near the incision. It is rock hard.

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
