old gall bladder scar



Recommended Posts

I have an old gall bladder scar the old way they used to perform it. I was told that you may not be able to have a full TT if you have that scar. Has anyone else heard this or had this and was able to have a full TT. My tummy is in bad shape already (appearance wise) and I know that I will be needing a TT and not just a panniculectomy.

I had honestly never heard of problems with an old gallbladder scar - So I searched t and found lots of information...

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=old+gall+bladder+scar+and+abdominoplasty&rlz=1C1KMZB_enGB510GB510&oq=old+gall+bladder+scar+and+abdominoplasty&aqs=chrome..69i57.8496j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=old+gallbladder+scar+and+abdominoplasty&spell=1

Apparently to do with slow healing etc

Must admit before my Inverted T surgery I had a 5 inch scar from previous hernia surgery and that caused no problems at all in healing etc.

I hope the above info is of some help to you

Are you speaking of the scar that goes straight down the middle of your stomach? It may not be a problem if your plastic surgeon does a fleur de lis abdominoplasty.

Are you referring to the scar that goes straight down the middle of the stomach? If that is the case research a fleur de lis abdominoplasty. If the plastic surgeon is unable to a regular Tummy Tuck or lower body lift ask about a fleur de lis abdominoplasty.

I have a huge 10 inch gb scar. Ps said the best one for me would be what sweet pea is talking about. It would get rid of the across abdominal scars and give one straight in the middle and tighting the abdominal muscles:-) hour glass figure.
