Is it normal to suddenly look 3 m pregnant, 2 m after Tummy Tuck when your stomach has been perfectly flat all along?

Anonymous790196
On 11.19.14 (2 months ago) I had a tummy tuck with lipo. My drains finally came out on 1.12.15. My stomach was initially very flat and lpoked great. Suddenly within the last 2 weeks my stomach swells up where I look pregnant. My stomach is no longer flat in the mornings. I'm still wearing compression and binder. My PS tapped my stomach and nothing came out. My PS said that my stomach is reconnecting & that it will go away in time. My stomach is hard, painful & looks bigger than before. Help!!
