Loose Skin after Swelling Resolves after Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question.
You may find that the swelling of the abdomen will persist for many months after surgery. During ( and after) this time the abdominal wall skin will slowly contract as the swelling dissipates. Therefore, you will not necessarily end up with loose skin as the swelling resolves.
I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.
