Dent After Mini Tummy Tuck I had a mini Tummy Tuck one month ago, and my left side has a dent in it. Will this go away?

A: Dent after mini tummy tuck

It's not uncommon to have some dents and irregularities 1 month after this procedure. They are usually caused by sutures. Once the suture is absorbed they usually go away. It also depends if you had liposuction or not.

Talk to your surgeon. He/she knows exactly what was done and which sutures were used. They would know if what you are experiencing is normal.

Holding a Baby After Mini Tummy Tuck? I had a Mini tummy tuck a week ago. I have a 10-month-old and I want to know when can I hold her again? My doctor said to be careful if I do hold her because of blood clots. What do you think?

A: Lifting after a mini tummy tuck

I ask that my mini-tummy tuck patients avoid heavy lifting for six weeks or so. Lifting should be limited to 5 pounds or less for any extended period of time. However your young child will need attention. I would reccomend that you use your binder while lifting and minimize prolonged carrying. I reccomend avoiding heavy lifting because I want to protect the muscle tightening, not because of blood clots.

Please talk to your doctor about his/her lifitng restrictions as it varies from doctor to doctor depending upon what technique was used.
