How long does redness in the tummy tuck incision last?

July 20, 2014
Asked By:Kh216 in New Jersey

Thank you to the doctors who answered my last question all your advice was helpful. I took the advice of Dr. Ernest Layton M.D. on my last question and it did help my swelling go down even more. I am 3 months post op for a tummy tuck. I was just wondering if that's an indication of something such as swelling or if it's normal. My incision is still red but it's not hurting, I was just wondering.
