Anyone had a TT after Panni
I'm 2 weeks post panni. I've notice I have a point and the end of the incision on the lft side, The rt side is perfect.. I also have a lot of swelling. I ldon't see any changes I look like pre-surg. I had a small panni but a lot of repeated yeast infections. My mid section looks wider than pre surgery. I'm nervous and afraid I'm going to regret having a panni, did anyone else feel this way?. Have anyone had or heard of TT after Panni?..
I can't answer your question - yet! In fact, it's a question that I'd like to have the answer to. I had a panni 3 years ago and have the same problem that you described. In regards to your swelling, your surgery is only 2 weeks old. I had major swelling for several months. In fact, my surgeon told me to give it at least 3 good months, and I wore the compressions garments for 6 months. At 2 weeks, I was barely getting my last drain out and fitted for the compression underwear.
I wish you well, and I'll be watching to find out if you get an answer to your question. When I had my panni (which only removed the hanging skin), there was no tightening of the muscles. Thus, I didn't get that "flat" ab effect. I'm ok with what I have, but would much rather have a flatter tummy and more "cinched" waist line.
Take care and blessings to you,

The point at the end of your incision is called a dog ear. It may resolve on it's own or can be easily fixed under local in the surgeons office. You are much too swollen to know your results and may be so for many months. Many people have buyer's remorse at this stage. Oh I forgot, welcome to swell hell. LOL Yes, you can have a TT later. Please be patient. The swelling really messes with your mind. Loris
