Answer: Swelling and pain after tummy tuck It is common to feel sore and have swelling even so many months after your tummy tuck, particularly if you've exercised or physically exerted yourself. You may want to cut back on the physical activity a bit to minimize this. However you should not be so swollen that you can't fit into your pre-op clothing. I recommend you see your surgeon to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Pain post tummy tuck
While most patients feel quite normal after 6 months, many patients heal more slowly.
It is worth discussing your problems with your plastic surgeon. Is there retained fluid? Is there extra fat or skin?
If you do not fit into your old clothes, this is decidedly unusual. Have you gained weight?
Patients who are active, work out, and stretch have fewer of these types of complaints.
Numbness is typical but the nerve symptoms you may be having may warrant further therapy.
