Tummy Tuck Results After 2 1/2 Weeks

At this point, it is still too early to judge the results, give it at least 3 to 6 months to allow for swelling to resolve.

Tummy Tuck Results?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, without pictures or direct examination, it is not possible to give you precise advice. Generally, it is much too early to evaluate the results of surgery 2 weeks postop. If you have specific concerns your plastic surgeon is in the best position to address them for you. Best wishes.
