Answer: Swelling after Tummy Tuck Your scenario is very typical. It is normal to experience fluctuating swelling of the abdomen for months and sometimes even up to one year after a tummy tuck, especially after exercise. As long as it goes down and isn't associated with pain, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the areas persist or worsen, I would check with your doctor. Do a very gradual resumption of your pre-op fitness routine and listen to your body. Some patients are not ready to do core work outs at 12 weeks.

Answer: 12 weeks post Mommy Makeover, after exercise my stomach gets very swollen! Is this normal? Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Certainly it's very normal to get swollen the first months during or after exercises, because the body is still adjusting and dealing with the healing process.I recommend you to keep in touch with your plastic surgeon so he/she gives you the best advice.Good luck :)
