11 Months Post Tummy Tuck! Stomach Feels Like it's Bulging Out?
It sounds like the abdominal muscle repair did not work or was not done. I would suggest consulting with your reconstructive plastic surgeon. Some plastic surgeons do not tighten the tummy muscles during an abdominoplasty. I would be certain in the revision of your tummy tuck, that your rectus abdominis muscles are tightened. Good luck with your reconstructive plastic surgery. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

A picure would be helpful
I understand your concerns regarding your surgery. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make any assessment with photos.

A photo would really help here. Hard to even guess without one. SInce you are going to see your surgeon, best suggestion would be to discuss the issue there. Your surgeon knows what was done, and has followed your recovery.
All the best.

Tummy Tuck
You most likely had a tightening of your abdominal wall with the removal of the excess skin and fat. This can restrict some the inner abdominal compartment leaving less room for the stomach and intestines to swell after eating. Many patients continue to lose weight after tummy tucks because this feeling leads to less food being consumed. Speak with you Dr. and ask about this sensation on the next visit.
