It's been 11 days since I had a full tummy tuck and tightening of the mucles done, but it feels like the docter took too much skin and that I will never be able to walk upright again.The area between my belly button and where my pubic hair starts is significantly smaller and doesn't look right.The skin is just so tight.Will the skin strech and look normal again?Will I be able to walk upright again without agonising pain?
Answer: Skin too tight after tummy tuck It is very common to feel extremely tight and have to walk bent over after a tummy tuck procedure.Of course it is very important that you see her plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns with him or her.And most patients the tummy skin stretches, becomes looser and you're able to resume walking upright. However you do need close follow-up with her doctor.

Answer: Can skin be too tight after tummy tuck? It is not uncommon for you to feel some pain and discomfort this soon following your surgery. Your abdomen is more than likely still swollen which can make it look uneven. As your healing progresses and the swelling diminishes, the area should even out and look much better. Even though you may not be able to stand straight at first, in time this will rectify itself. Just be sure to follow our surgeons post -operative instructions carefully and should you have any concerns, be sure to call or make an appointment to be seen. Be patient. It will take 3 to 6 weeks for you feel like your old self again.

Answer: Too much skin can be removed with a tummy tuck and would lead to wound disruption. Tightness of the skin after in abdominoplasty is expected. It will loosen up over time. If a surgeon removes too much skin this would result in disruption of the wound. I think your situation will get better as time passes.

Answer: Tight tummy tuck I hope you are feeling better. The amount of tension,or how tight to make things, is always a challenge in the operating room. It is not uncommon for patients to feel so tight that they cannot stand up straight for a couple of days after surgery. You will be able to stand upright. It just takes time. The flip side is that you don't want to make things too loose either. Talk to your surgeon and s/he can give you a better idea how you should progress individually.

Answer: Tightness after tummy tuck We want everything to be tight after a tummy tuck. Skin always loosens over time, and I've never had a patient who couldn't ultimately stand up straight again. Give it time, and see your surgeon for your concerns. Best wishes.
