I had a mini tummy tuck 11 days ago and the past 2 days the left side of my belly feels like there's a knot in it.... You and even see it a little. Is this normal and will it go away?

You paid good money for your surgery and your doctor should answer whatever questions you have. Good luck!

I think I'm gonna call him tomorrow. I feel like I'm just over reacting about everything though.... From the swelling to the tightness and now this. Other wise I feel pretty good. I'm going back to work on wed so I'm pretty nervous about that.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this! You should definitely ask your surgeon about it. It could be a seroma (collection of fluid), or something else. Just ask so you can find out and give yourself some peace of mind.
