Male Tummy Tuck Swelling

By A1998 on 30 Dec 2012

I'm five days 5 days post op from my tummy tuck. I had excess skin removed from where I lost over 100lbs eight years ago. I'm around 6ft 170lbs and I thought my stomach would be flat but it's anything but flat right now and it's causing me great stress. This surgery is hard enough without being worried that my stomach won't be flat. I don't know if it's excess swelling and overtime will flatten out or just poor results. Can anyone help?

Hi there! I have read on various forums that most people are swollen for a good 4-5 months. Best results are month 6 and/or 7.
