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

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

Regardless of your girlfriend's observation, your penis in no way would change in size after an abdominoplasty. She may be looking for a reason to break up.

Tummy Tuck - Penis Seems Smaller After Inverted T Abdominoplasty- Normal?

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
