I Am 18 Days Post-Op TT & Lipo and Still in Major Pain, is This Normal? (photo)

You may still have some residual pain at this point.  I would return to your plastic surgeon to see if there is another cause of the pain like a fluid collection.

I am sorry to hear about the severity of your pain. You have had an extremely long incision but, at 18 days postop, this level of pain is unusual. You should discuss it with your plastic surgeon; pain management is an art and there are plenty of things on the continuum between narcotics and Tylenol. It is atypical to need to use a walker and to be unable to go from room to room as you describe at this point. I recommend that you see your plastic surgeon and be worked up to rule out any complications which could be manifested by this degree of pain.

I'm sorry to hear about the continued pain after tummy tuck surgery. As you can imagine, online consultants will not be able to help you directly. My best suggestion would be to communicate ( and  preferably see)  with your plastic surgeon again. Direct examination will be important to rule out complication causing your symptoms. Otherwise, improved pain control seems to be indicated.

Every patients' pain threshold and experience is different after tummy tuck surgery;  in my experience, it is not unusual for patients who require stronger pain medications and/or muscle relaxants for several  additional weeks.

Again, call ( or have a family member call)  your plastic surgeon's office;  communicate the level of discomfort you are  continuing to experience.  Hopefully this communication will result in efforts to improve pain control.

Best wishes.
