TT, lipo flanks, is it normal to still swell 1.5 yr PO? I swell when I have sodium. I’m also a gastric sleeve patient 3 yrs PO.

A meticulous surgical technique for abdominoplasty (TT) and liposuction with the tumescent technique should result in minimal blood loss. I don’t ever recommend donating blood prior to any procedure. 

Thanks for the question. After 4-6 week your operation area is totally healed and yes you can swim and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Because tummy tucks are considered cosmetic procedures, insurance doesn’t generally cover them. However, you can reach out to your provider to confirm this.

Dear crossfit43204,Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has a different recovery protocol, so it is best to check with your surgeon. It does seem based on the photos that your body is still healing and some areas are still raw and leaking fluid. I would definitely hold off until ...

If it’s generalized soreness then it may be okay. However, to confirm you should speak with your surgeon since they’re familiar with the specifics of your situation.

Necrosis can occur after a tummy tuck due to the factors you mentioned and a few others:- Too much skin was removed resulting in tightness- Too much liposuction at the same time- Aggressive undermining- Poor circulation due to previous scars or liposuction
