What Can I Do About Bulging, Sensation Problems After Tummy Tuck?

February 11, 2009
Asked By:reshma

I had my tummy tuck 7 months ago. Ever since I came out of the surgery, I felt I had a bulge, and it feels like something is moving around inside. After 5 months, other people started noticing my bloated-looking stomach. I started wearing a girdle and waist tights, but it still feels like everything is bulging. I also don't feel any sensation on the left side of my waist. I told my dr, she said it will get better, but now after 7 months gone, it's still the same. Please tell me what I can do!
