    Default Tummy tuck gone bad

    Years ago I had a tummy tuck. When I came out of recovery, I was so distraught. I still had these large folds of fat over my pelvic bones, in which I still have to date. I cant seem to get rid of these folds. I was suppose to have liposuction after my surgery, but the Surgeon I believe has closed its business. I know most insurances do not cover this. But I need help, as to where I can go in the South east Region to have this corrected. My clothes look aweful, and now if I gain weight its the top of my tummy not the bottom.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Liposuction is the best way to remove fat from the body.There are some online sites are available which will provide you some info about it.So please try it.

    Default Tummy tuck gone bad???

    I had a tummy tuck and lipo on Nov 5th 2008, and almost 1 year later i am still having problems. My tummy stays hard as a rock and swollen, sometimes it looks as if im 9 months pregnant! Why did I bother spending all the money and the results are no better than before the surgery? I think that my problem is the fluid is trapped because the drainage tubes were not ready to come out. I went back to the doctor that did the surgery but she wasnt willing to see what the problem may have been, only tried to blame it on some other medical condition that dosent exsist. I have since contacted another doctor for a second opinion.

    I lost 89 lbs really fast and it left loose skin and it's really irritating when I go to buy pants. I don't mean irritating as in the big gap you have in some jeans and slacks, but meaning I have to pull my stomach up out of the waist of my pants/jeans when I sit down. If I don't, I get this sharp paint up my abdomen that stops at my navel. Since then I've had a hernia repaired and that doesn't help matters either. The pain seems to be worse. I don't I'm not going to gain the weight again because I'm no longer taking the medicine that caused the weight gain in the first place. There are factors that a surgeon would have to consider like the fact that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I'm not in a wheel chair or anything and I have had other surgeries after my diagnosis, you could say I'm a surgery veteran. I don't have major skin, but enough to cause all this trouble. Would this also be a tummy tuck?

    If he wants more money to fix it chanda78, then he is admitting an error...

    I am so glad that I found this site! I have had caesareaans and I have been left with a nasty "apron" and i can't get rid of the weight so easily because of my condition! This has me thinking of a tummy tuck some time this year. But, like Fiestyfeefee....there might be complications. I am considering any alternatives if I can find one or two or three etc!!!
    I just cannot look at myself and feel comfortable. I am contemplating trying the total core , vibration therapy thingy machine...anything!!!

    Any ideas are very welcome, especially from those who have had it, tried it and liked it!!!

    I believe in plastic surgery 110 %! And i agree with the fact that lipo is the answer to finish with fat . *Removed advertising*
