My tt did not turn out the way i thought it would

Well im only a little o er a week out. Ive had my drains out for 5days now which is awesome im moving around great and ive been off my pain meds since day four.. however i dont like the out come of my new bellly. While it does look better than it did its not flat like everyone elses ive seen i still look 4 months pregnant i have a huge fat roll on my rib cage and when i sit i have a huge fat roll its depressing i paid 5000.dollars to have a flat tummy and ended up with a prego looking belly i just want to ry.. it does look better but not good enough i will post pics later so you all can see

Sorry, you are upset, but maybe you are still swollen? it only 1 week fro your surgery, way to early to see final results.

I am 3 years from my TT and still swollen sometimes. Please give it a time.

All the best,

Alla

Many of us have felt the same way you do right now. It just takes time for the swelling to subside to really see the results. I wasn't happy until 3 months after my TT. Now I'm thrilled with the results. Hang in there. It gets better.

I had an anchor cut and I am 2.5 months out and yes when I sit I still have a roll. But I agree that it takes time and maybe a small revision? I have to have a small one done in office but the doctor is not charging me extra...

Good luck 

I had a LBL in January, and I'm still seeing changes as the healing process continues.  What you have today isn't what you'll have in a few weeks or a few months.  It's possible you'll still be unhappy with it, but you really need to give everything time to settle and the swelling to subside.  Back away from the ledge!

Thanks guys guess i just expected to wake upfrom surgery with a flat belly loli am a little swollen but my dr said what i see is baisically the way its gonna look bc i told him i was unhappy sith the results and asked him if its just bc of sweling and he said a little bit and then proceedex to say i think you for vot shzt yohr tummy looked like when you first came in! Idk buthopefully it gets better ne thing is better than lose skin really thanks again

Sorry for all he miss spelled words im on my nook

Go to Realself.com and look up tummy tucks.  A lot of the women on that site have posted pictures from before surgery, day of surgery, day after, week after, etc.  You will see how much the tummy tuck changes over a period of several months.  It will make you feel better.

You are describing Swell Hell.
Even when wearing a binder you can have months down the line where at the end of the day you might have swelling.
You are not alone in your frustration.
I suggest you close your eyes for a few minutes the next time you are in the shower (are you showering yet?) and just feel and sense your flat tummy and think back to the blubber you had.
My belly is quite flat but not washboard.
