    I'm not sure if this was asked. And almost feel like this could be a silly question.... using topical products such as "sweet sweat" and other stretch mark creams, should I stop the use of these products if I plan on getting a tummy tuck? Could these affect the integrity texture and/or elasticity of the skin? and can this affect the final results of a tummy tuck/liposuction?
    Thank you for your time!

    I think when a drain is not used patients are more prone to getting seromas but I have noticed a lot of these new doctors are not using drains. Also I think flanks should be added with a tummy tuck because patients are still having love handles after the tt.

    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.

    Hi Dr Barrett. I’m starting my research for my future tummy tuck. 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?

    • @barrettplasticsurgery
      @barrettplasticsurgery  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    I would like to know what to do about hard scar tissue under the incision scar. I had my abdominoplasty one year ago. The scar is not too bad. It’s low. 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?

      generally speaking it would be better to be close to your surgeon at least in the early postoperative period. I have follow-up examinations in the first week and at the end of the second week. Also, we have a lot of patients from other states and most of them stay 1-2 weeks.

      every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Some plastic surgeons use binders, others don't. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

    Hi. Im in Florida and i have been to 2 doctors and they both told me different things so now i am confused on what i should do.They both said i am definitely a candidate for a full tummy tuck. they looked at my stomach and one said i have a small hernia nothing I should worry about though....The other doctor didn’t say that. One said i need muscle tightening and the other one didn’t but if wile in surgery he sees that i need it he will than do the muscle tightening. Should i continue seeing doctors? I have had one child 20 yrs ago im 5.0 feet 120 pounds

      it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery and you are not satisfied with your plastic surgeon, I would suggest you to consult another board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Make sure that you feel comfortable and get all the answers you need to make a decision

    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. 😭

    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!

    • @barrettplasticsurgery
      @barrettplasticsurgery  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period to reduce micromotions of the tissues so the incision can heal earlier. I also use compression garments and later Biocorneum gel.

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?

    • @barrettplasticsurgery
      @barrettplasticsurgery  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

      What you need to understand is that its not just the surgery, but the follow up is part of the package and you want someone you can follow up with on a regular basis.
      You only get one body and many times once something is done wrong it can't be fixed.
