I am 10 weeks post op and still more swollen than ever. Is this normal? How long did your tummy tuck swelling last?

My belly button almost looks like an outtie. How much longer will this last?

I am 9 weeks PO and still have swelling. Last night I developed a fever and today I noticed that I was more swollen than ever. It looks like a seroma but not sure.
I have an appointment with my PS today at 4:30. I also have an open wound from the TT that I thought was healing but maybe not.
I did not expect to have issues this far along! SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

13 weeks post TT and swelling is still present below incision line. The strange feeling of semi-numbness is most uncomfortable and I have hard spots where the drains were. Wonder how long those will last. The swelling is slowly getting better, though. I look like I have a man package at times. LOL.

I'm hoping some girls will answer your question. i'm 7 weeks now and feel more swollen than i did a few weeks ago. I'm putting it down to increased activity but it's depressing!
