Pooch after tummy tuck. How can I fix this? (Photo)

Asked By:july162004 in Calabasas, CA

Right after the tummy tuck my abdomen was flat, but around the 3-4 week I started noticing a pooch, I doubted it was fat because I was eating right. I’m in my 8th week and there’s no more fluids but the pooch is still there and getting worse. I’m wearing my garment day and nigh. I have strength in my abdomen muscles and I weight 130, my height is 5’5”so I really don’t think is fat or muscle issues. How can I fix this? I’m kinda scared and disappointed.
