Post-op Tummy Tuck - When Will Muscles Loosen?

It has been 9 weeks since a full tummy tuck and liposuction. When will the muscles start to loosen? It is still horribly tight and my abdomen feels heavy. I am trying physical therapy at this point.

IT will typically take 4-6 months for the muscle to settle and relax following muscle plication with tummy tuck, in my experience
