Pain In Stomach 1 Year After Tummy Tuck

Hello,
My name is Cathy and I had a tummy tuck and my breast lifted December 13,2010. My uplift went fine and my tummy tuck is still very troublesome. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon. It looks really good.. but still very painful, not the lower half of my stomach, but the upper half. In the mornings it is not too bad but by late afternoon it still hurts. I have trouble going to sleep at night because of pain. Besides hurting most of the time...it also snarls up like a leg cramp and is extremely painful..!!! I can only wait till this goes away and at times I start to cry.. I am at my wits end..I went back to the plastic surgeon at 7.5 months post op.. but she said she can't understand what might be going on...She told me to come back in 6 weeks for either a cat scan or MRI.. I don't remember.. I haven't been back as I don't wish to add to my financial debt. Do you have any possible solutions?? Thank You, Cathy

Cathy,

Sorry, but I have never heard of that before. Besides, if your surgeon doesn't know what's going on it would seem that testing is the only way to know what is wrong.

It may not be related to your tummy tuck.

Also, if you have health insurance, the costs of the tests and treatment for this might be covered (I don't know) since it's been over a year and it may or may not be a result of the tummy tuck.

Maybe going to your regular doctor (and not a plastic surgeon) will more easily be covered by insurance. That's something you may want to look into.

Wearing your compression garment may help a little until this gets resolved. It might be worth a try.

Also, you might want to research some non-tummy tuck related stomach issues to see if they apply to you.

Good luck,

It has been three years since my tummy tuck and I am having the same issue, my doctor has done all the tests for everything and all was normal. He just did a procedure to freeze my muscles I got a lot of relief he has determined it is a nerve entwined in scar tissue I see my plastic surgeon in a few weeks to see what he can do.
