Is the skin on my tummy tuck overlapping? (Photo)

Question

So I'm happy with my belly button and how low my cut is .. But I am a little concerned about my skin towards the end of my cut it looks like Overlapping ? Will this even out ? I am 3 day post op full tummy tuck And seem to get more and more swollen.

Hello and thank you for reaching out. Three days post op is still extremely early to tell the quality of your scars. There are many factors that play into the overall look of the abdomen as well as the incision. With the correct use of the compression garment or binder you were placed in, everything should smooth out just fine, including the incision. Best Wishes

Although your belly will look nice, you are going to have a lateral thigh and lower back and flank tuck to address what we call dog ears and pleating of your incision line.
