I had an abdominoplasty and panni in April of 2015. I've been super pleased with the results, but do have a tiny "dog ear" on both sides of my incision. I'm going in this afternoon to have them corrected. I'm super nervous!! Has anyone had this done? Any ideas on what to expect? If it will hurt? Etc?

It's a simple procedure the doctor will do in the office. She will inject some lidocaine into the area, snip off the end, re-suture, and you're good to go. Virtually no pain and very fast.

Thank you! It's that whole "snipping and suturing" part that scares me! lol

Let me know how it goes!! I have to have the same thing done and keep putting it off! Mostly because I don't want to take more time off running!

It ended up just being a consultation. I scheduled the procedure for March. I also run and he said that it's very minor and I should be back to running within a couple of days.

Oh wow! Mine said a couple of weeks and that we should wait till the end of race season!!! Interesting! I think mine is just concerned that the scar be minimal so doesn't want any tension on it.
