SWELLING!!!!

By mhenderson on 04 Aug 2012

Had tummy tuck, augmentation and lipo yesterday. I am so swolen in my stomach that it looks like I am 7 months pregnant.  I was not happy at all when I took the bandages off today. My stomach looks horrible. :(  Seems like the PS didnt even remove much skin based upon how much stretch marks I still have left. Anyone with a similar story?

Darn it. That sounds like some intense swelling! Have you called your surgeon to ask if that is normal?

I hope some other ladies who've experienced the same thing chime in here for you. Keep us posted!
