Tummy Tuck (Skin Tightning, no Muscle Work/Lypo)
By kiefhay on 11 May 2011
How long will it takes for my swelling to go down? my doc says up to 6 months, and everything i have read on here says that aswell. But i got it done so i would be able to take my shirt off this summer. I did it for skin tightning as im 170lbs don't need the lypo, i just had loose skin and had no muscle work done. So My Question(s): How long till my belly of swelling is gone? cause i have a bigger stomach now than i did when i went in :/ How tight does my velcro brace have to be?
Your swelling will subside little by little. But yes, in the beginning, you're often larger than you were when you went in. I don't know when you had your surgery, but by June or July you should be seeing your results appear, which still gives you part of the summer to enjoy it.
