9 Weeks Post Op: Swelling or Bloating? (photo)

February 12, 2013
Asked By:Sharyne in Canada

I have had the best recovery since i had my tummy tuck with no drains on December 10th. I had no issue and my results have been amazing...until last week. My tummy started to get bigger and bigger, my skin stretches and althought its not painful, its not very comfortable. I found myself putting on my binder back, thinking it might reduce the swelling. It does not. My routine hasn't changed, i am not doing anything different from the last weeks, have regular BM, not pregnant. It this swelling??
