I had a full tummy tuck 8/31 and I'm just stressing out that these are my final results or that they're even getting worse. I recently saw my plastic surgeon and though she asked me if I've gained weight (I haven't!) she seemed unconcerned as she always does. My stomach still feels very squishy and even in the mornings it's not super flat. I work out daily and eat healthy. I have a very low pain tolerance so I really don't want to have to undergo any further procedures but want my stomach flat!

Answer: Why does my stomach feel soft 2 months after my tummy tuck? (Photos)
The tough connective tissue covering the muscle fascia is stitched together. Over time, the fascia heals together, and the stitches no longer serve the function of holding things together.
This could be a seroma cavity due to healing issues, a possible hernia, abdominal wall laxity due to abdominal wall weakness, and asymmetric fat constitution, among others. The plastic surgeon will be able to determine this upon examination and recommend a path forward.
Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good...
