dear wonderful doctors, i am 26 years old single lady and was overweight, I made lots of efforts to lose 32 kilos over periods of time..i had full tummy tuck surgery a month ago and of course i am still swollen, my question is: does swelling exist in stomach area as well or only abdominal area? and when i sit i see a small stomach , is it normal or it should be completely flat??? thanks a lot
Even the flatest person exhibits a "pooch" wnen sitting upright or sitting and leaning forward. Try pinching the pooch hard with both hands in the center and then stand straight, if you had all your extra skin removed at the time of your tummy tuck, you cannot complete the attempt at straightening out. If on the other hand you are left with a good amount of the pooch on assuming the erect position then not enough tummy skin was removed.
Im three weeks post op, from full tummy tuck the stitches look the same. They are dry but have no appearance of falling off
I am assuming your surgeon left dissolving stitches around the periphery of your newly relocated belly button. There is NO reason why they should be there this long. You should be able to wipe them off with a wash cloth. If you have any concern you should see your surgeon and have them removed. It is time to do so.
Why do reality tv cosemtic surgeons say to wait one year before exercise following a tummy tuck? On RealSelf everyone says it's only 6-8 weeks. Wouldn't waiting longer to exercise be safer? Or would it cause too much weight gain? Thanks
There is NO reason why with uneventful healing after a Tummy Tuck you need to wait more than a month or so after surgery to return to excercising. By that time scar tissue has begun sothering all tissues together and a longer wait will not markedly change it.
