I had lipo and tummy tuck 15 weeks ago. I have a lot of swelling. Is this normal?

Thanks for your question.  You are still very early in your healing process. I advise my patients that it takes at least 3-6 months for all of the swelling to resolve.  You may notice that your swelling will wax and wane with your activity.  Consider wearing a compression garment or spanx when you are more active, as this may help decrease the swelling.  Good luck. 

At 15 weeks after surgery you are still early.  However, when you combine liposuction with tummy tuck, the swelling is increased and prolonged.

Hello and thank you for your question. Intermittent abdominal swelling after tummy tuck surgery is common and quite variable in duration. It can be minimal immediately after the procedure and then increase over the first several months, commonly fluctuating at different parts of the day. It is best to be patient, knowing that it should reduce over time. This period can be up to a year. Rarely there will be some persistence beyond this time period. Of course other causes of swelling such as seroma need to be ruled out by your plastic surgeon.
