Anyone have previous horizontal stoma*****ision before tummy tuck???
I cross posted this on the plastics forum.
I had open horizontal incision for my ds. My plastic surgeon said he is worried the blood supply is cut off. So my incision is currently two inches above my belly button so instead of bringing it down below the belly button and having a tummy tuck incision (he is worried there will be no blood supply between those two incisions), he wants to cut the ds incision off and just have a high tummy tuck incision.
I'm a little worried, he said there is no guarantee there is blood supply there and doesn't know how it will heal. Jusst would love to hear from someone w a horizontal incision and how you handled a tummy tuck.
Thanks.
