Tummy Tuck + Swelling Q&A

I am 3 years post TT with MR. I still swell daily and it gets really hard and swelling can be painful to the touch. Is the shelf like appearance of my tummy due to poor healing of my scar and build up of scar tissue internally? And if so, would a revision address this? A massage therapist told me this is lymph that can't drain because of my scar, could a revision improve this?

Had my procedure 7 months ago, had a large muscle separation from my belly button and upwards but no separation below my belly button. The separation was repaired and also a small umbilical hernia. I started noticing right away that my upper abdomen was swollen, the surgeon said it was because of the stitches. I am now 7 Months post OP and still very swollen. Is this normal? My surgeon still says its swelling in my soft parts. Im now trying to loose weight in hopes that it will make it better

I had a tummy tuck about 3 weeks ago.  How long should I expect the swelling to last?

I am just wondering if there is a way to differentiate between a muscle repair failure and swelling. I am almost 3 months Tummy Tuck post-op, and my upper abdomen is a little bumpy.

Had my original surgery 10/29/23, was swollen but flat initially. Currently look like in the pictures. Is this a failed Mr or swelling? Do I need more lipo? I'm going in for a revision on Friday and my doctor believes I only need some mr tightening and fixing dog ears and minor revision to belly button. Will MT tightening resolve the bulge or do I also need to ask for lipo?

I had a tummy tuck 8 weeks ago, when i take off the compress for a few hours it seems and feels like i'm swelling and don't have the same countour shape as i have right after taking off the garment. Is this going to change, i'm going to have the same shape i have with the garment on?

I had a tummy tuck May 23rd and am still pretty swollen, but really swollen in my legs (upper thighs). What's going on? And I think I might be losing hair. HELP

Hi, I had a Tummy Tuck w/ No Lipo and Monsplasty procedure done in May 2023. I was told Not to get Lymphatic Massages because it was not necessary. Now I am 8 months post-op and my lower belly is swollen and still pretty tight. Can I get lymphatic massages to make the swelling go down or is this normal?

Does it make a difference on swelling? I notice that people who have Tummy Tucks without drainage seem to be more swollen than tummy tucks done with. What is the difference?

I had a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago and I am still swolen, but I am beginning to be concerned that my stomach will not look much less than it does with the swelling. My doctor told me he would not be able to make me super flat, but he would take as much as he could. In your experience, do you think swelling is still at the extreme after 4 weeks?
