Are These Side Effects Normal After TT and Lipo? (photo)
I recently had an abdominoplasty lipo/tummy tuck 2wks ago. However, I cant stand up straight, my lower abdomen feels like there's some sort of foreign body(ex:thick wide rope or band). It is hardas a rock to the touch. It seems as if my pubic area is raised up high significantly as if the surgeon tried to cover up less skin due to not having enough skin to suture back up. I am also feeling intermittent excruciatiang burning to my right leg around the thigh area. ER said i had actelctasis.no clot

Post operative symptoms after Tummy tuck
I am so sorry but I can't see how your abdomen looks from attempting to view your photos which are too dark. It would appear that you are very sore from your recent surgery, and I would advise you to continue to stay close to your Plastic Surgeon until you feel comfortable with your recovery. Your obvious concerns about your symptoms are worthy of continued evaluation by you and your Plastic Surgeon .
Good luck to you...

Complication after Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, the quality of pictures you have submitted are not sufficient to be helpful. Based on your description, I would advise you to meet with your plastic surgeon for evaluation. What you have described may be “normal” but only your plastic surgeon will be able to rule out complications.
Best wishes.

Your pictures are dark and not clear but your description of your problems is normal
Two weeks after surgery things will feel tight and it is too early to make any conclusions about the final outcome of your surgery.
The burning sensation in your leg can be an impinged nerve (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve)
please see your plastic surgeon about this as early treatment has better outcome than a delayed treatment.

Problems 2 weeks post-TT?
Based on your description and the photos, everything you describe can be completely normal 2 weeks following a tummy tuck and liposuction (of the abdomen, I assume).
Let's start with the incision. For the first 6-8 weeks, scar tissue forms in the incision, which, in turn, gets progrssively firmer, more raised, and darker. This is 100% normal, and the appearance in the photos seems to be "par for the course". You can try Vitamin E oil, scar massage,...
