So i am 4 weeks po after a tummy tuck and i still have alot of loose skin especially toward the buttom pubic area is that normal? Or should my skin already be tight? My surgeon says it all will take time to finish swollen but i see too much skin?
Answer: Normal Healing Thank you for your question. What you are describing is normal healing after an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). It typically takes 8-12 weeks for the swelling to resolve after this procedure. You will experience some tightening, but depending on your specific condition prior to the operation even will determine how significant your results may be. Rarely, is there a need for skin only excisions after this procedure, but I would not recommend considering this option until at least one year post op.

Answer: Tummy tuck results. Four weeks is too early to judge any result. If your surgeon was board-certified in plastic surgery does a ton of tummy tucks and instructed you well, you are in good hands. It's not, seek a second opinion. And good luck.
