Mini Tummy Tuck: Q&A
Ask a QuestionSwollen or Fat Tissue on Top of my Stitches, is This Normal?
I had 2 c-section 9 and 5 years ago. I'm 5'0" 105 lbs (lost 7lbs after 2 months surgery).I had a mini tt and body jet lipo(middle;lower abdomen&love handle) done 5 weeks ago. There was a lot of swelling that occured after the drains came out (1 day). There is still quite a bit of swelling and I feel my skin strecth inside my stomach. This swelling seems to be causing a lip or hang over the incision. I am afraid this is going to remain permanent and not heal to a flat stomach. Is this normal?
Another "mini" tummy tuck with suboptimal results!

I am going through a very similar situation as what you did. I had a mini tummy tuck 5 weeks ago (with lipo in the flanks). I have a lip overhanding my incision. It is like a CLIFF. I also had a seroma and had to have it drained several times... I had to have the drain put back in 3 weeks post op because of the seroma. I am curious how your tummy is now a year later? Was it worth it? Did the swollen / fatty tissue resolve itself eventually? Looking for some hope on this journey.
