Tummy tuck - What should I do if I look bloated and fat after tummy tuck?

Hello,  Assuming you had a good surgeon provide your tummy tuck surgery, then the answer is diet and exercise first. See where you are in six months to a year. Do this only if your surgeon gives you the OK of course.

This is a tough question to answer without seeing you preoperatively or postoperatively. Most swelling after surgery usually subsides within the first few months. Some of my patients that I perform a tummy tuck on will need a second stage liposuction of the abdominal flap. I stage them because I think it is safer.
