Sounds a bit unusual

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: No tightness or pain after tummy tuck and liposuction

I had a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction 6 days ago, and am able to do everything in exactly the same manner as before, with no pain or discomfort of any kind. I can also still grab a handful of skin on each side of my belly button. Are these normal? Shouldn't there be a least a sensation of tightness after these procedures?

Your story does sound unusual to say the least.  During your initial consultation with your plastic surgeon you should have discussed your goals and expectations.  It sound to me like there was a degree of lack of communication.  I would review the procedure with your surgeon and discuss your findings and ask for an explanation.  If you had a full abdominoplasty your would expect an incision around your umbilicus as well as a transverse incision across the bikini area.  Otherwise you may have had some type of limited procedure combined with liposuction.
