I had my full tummy tuck two weeks ago yesterday. No lipo. At first I still had my waistline (I was very lean to begin with), but now I am completely swollen upper and lower abdomen. No sign of a waist. Is this normal? I completely trust my dr, but just want other opinions.

Answer: Puffy after surgery It is probably just swelling. You are very early into the healing. Hang in there and be patient. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck surgery Thank you for your enquiry and photos.It is quite usual to be slightly swollen at this stage but it may also be that you have a slight fluid collection in your tummy.This can occur following surgery and you may well feel fluid moving from side to side when you move. I think it would be worthwhile getting your surgeon to check you out to have a look at the area and assess whether you have any fluid collection there.Normally your plastic surgeon would be more than happy to see you at this stage to advise the best way forward.AR
