Penis Seems Smaller After Inverted T Abdominoplasty- Normal?

It's maybe a very weird question, but i'm worried.

Could you please tell me, is this possible because of the surgery or will it become normal after 6-8 weeks?

Your penis is not smaller because of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

Penis seems smaller after abdominoplasty

It's really hard to give any advice without pre and postoperative photos... I would recommend talking with your plastic surgeon to get his or her input about whether it's just swelling and part of the normal healing process. It can take many months for all the surgical changes to fully resolve as your body heals.

Post tummy tuck problem

I can think of no reason that would cause the problem you describe. Swelling after tummy tuck surgery may take several months to resolve and I am sure everything should return to normal
