Hi there, I am 7 days post op and my Chow jumped on my stomach while I was standing. How do I know if my muscle repair is still in order?

It is possible to reduce the size of the mons with a skin excision, lipo or both. In my experience it is typically both.

It is really too soon post-op to assess a final outcome. As hard as it is, please be patient and let the swelling resolve. Best of luck.

Thanks for the question. There's no age limit or ideal age for Tummy Tuck. However, patients must be over 18 years of age.
