Masturbation after tummy tuck - 10 days post-op.

11 days ago I had a tummy tuck with liposuction on the flanks, chest, and back. Today I had a bit of sexual contact with someone else but it was nothing but masturbation. Will my results be ruined from this? I was told to hold off on sex until week 3, but technically I didn't have sex.

The quality of the photos isn't very clear, but to me it looks like this could be a fold of the skin which can be due to tension. I would follow this up with your surgeon who can assess you in person.
