You are early in your recovery. Even if you don't feel swelling, you will have swelling for at least another 3 months or more. Try to be patient. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Follow all post operative instructions. Good luck.
While you are not yet seeing your final results, the majority of the swelling should have resolved by three months post op. An evaluation and pre op photos would be helpful in giving more specific information. A round abdomen could be from visceral fat, ineffective or failed muscle repair, or perhaps muscle repair was not completed. It could also be GI related.
Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.Good luck :)
Without pre & post photos, it is difficult to comment. Procedures involving liposuction definitely take longer (can be up to 12 months) to get the final result. If your surgeon has done the best possible procedure, then sometimes it is your posture & stomach muscle control that may be contributing to the problem. Have you done any pilates or core muscle work?? This could help. Continue to see your surgeon for further follow up too. All the best Kim
Hello dear, thank you for your question.I always sat to my patients that to see final results on a tummy tuck or a liposuction procedure to wait at least 6 months after the surgery. By this time you can start to notice the changes on your body. Consult with your surgeon about all your concerns.Good luck!
Bloating before your period can certainly contribute to swelling, however it would probably be a good idea to see your surgeon just to make sure that it’s nothing more serious since you mentioned that it appeared suddenly.
Your surgeon is the best one to answer this question as she/he is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. At about six weeks post op my patients are typically cleared to resume more strenuous activities. I encourage them to start slowly...
Thank you for the question.The whiteness may be the consequence of too much moist in the area, try to dry it and keep it clean.Please consult your surgeon for follow upBest wishes Dr Genevieve F.Caron, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Montreal, Canada
