At what point should I be concerned that the right side of mons pubis is significantly swollen 10 days after tummy tuck?

Thank you for your question. You need to be seen by your surgeon as you may have a fluid collection there. In general swelling can persist for a long time after surgery so if there is no fluid collection, there is nothing to worry this early after surgery.

Swelling in the mons, sometimes asymmetric, is not uncommon after a tummy tuck.  You say that this is "significant".  If this is the case, you should get examined by your plastic surgeon.  If he or she has already done so, then simply wait for the swelling to settle, and keep in close contact with them.Best of luck!

Your concern should be addressed in person with your surgeon to make sure you do not have a fluid collecton.
