Is this swelling normal 3m PO TT and MR? I have a ridge above my incision. Will this ever resolve? Or is this the final result?

Thank you for your pictures and questions. It can sometimes take 3-6 months for swelling to resolved after a tummy tuck, so this is not abnormal. As for whether or not this is your final result, that is hard to say without knowing what you looked like before surgery and the details of the procedure. Often patients who are overweight before a tummy tuck have a large amount of intra-abdominal fat and this can only be decreased through weight loss. But they are under the impression that a tummy tuck is going to make them flat, when in fact they will still have a round abdomen, even after a tummy tuck, because of the intra-abdominal fat. Also, in a previous post you mentioned some issues with seroma after surgery and needing a new drain placed. So you need to see your surgeon to make sure your concerns are not related to ongoing problems with fluid accumulation.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is very normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
