Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

At 11 months after a tummy tuck it is unlikely for this to happy you should have already be healed. I recommend you follow up with your PS to discuss  your concerns.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  In most cases a muscle repair has healed 6-8 weeks after surgery and by 11 months would be unlikely to come undone. I would discuss your symptoms with your surgeon who can perform an in-person examination and give you the best advice. Best wishes.
