I Was Wondering is It Normal for the Exterior of my Vaginal Lips to Be Swollen After Having a Tummy Tuck?

I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo of my sides 6 days ago. I had a Catheter inserted in my Vagina for 24 Hours after surgery. I currently have a very tight compression garment that I use 24/7 and 2 drain tubes coming from my stomach. What could be causing my vagina to be swollen and puffy looking?

Swelling in the genitourinary region

What you are describing sounds like some swelling in your genitourinary area. This can happen to men and women after tummy tuck and/or abdominal/waist liposuction surgery. It should get better in days. I do recommend you visit with your PS to get it checked out.

Swelling after Tummy tuck Surgery

Thank you for your question. Some swelling of the genitalia is quite common after this procedure, however, unusual complications cannot be ruled out with an online consultation so please see your plastic surgeon to make sure your recovery goes smoothly. Best wishes. see video
