Lower abdomen bulge after tummy tuck

January 1, 2016
Asked By:Elle W in Jersey City, NJ

I had a tt with umbilical hernia and muscle repair 4 weeks ago. My gap was 5-6 cm. My stomach still looks poochy especially from my belly button down (like 3 months pregnant). My doctor said this is normal swelling but I haven't been doing anything but resting. It's definitely worse at nigbt as well. Shouldn't my stomach be flat by now? I am worried the muscle repair didn't take
