Hi, I am F,26,125lbs,6mo PO after TT I had a hard/fast fall(snowboarding, much worse than usual) while snowboarding, right after i felt a bruise right under my right breast on the ribcage area. The next Day it was more sore and I got dizzy when getting up after sitting in the car for a couple hours. Now, a week after, my lower stomach is swollen and I feel like I lost some sensation in that area and my stomach muscles feel tighter tan before. Should I be concerned or is it 'just a bruise'?

Traumatic fall after a tumm tuck

You should definitely seek immediate medical attention to evaluate your bruising and swelling. You may have a fractured rib or more serious injury unrelated to your tummy tuck surgery. See your plastic surgeon or go to the nearest emergency room to be seen. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
