3.5 weeks post tummy tuck - how can I tell if I ruined my results?

Asked By:hcms123 in Charlotte, NC

Hello, I am 3.5 weeks post tummy tuck operation, muscle repair and umbilical hernia. Yesterday I held my 10 month old (20 lbs) and walked around with her for a bit. I also had her on the couch with me and lifted her off of the couch, about knee high. I didn’t feel any soreness at the time; however, today I am experiencing soreness and slight pain on the left side of my abdomen (where I held her and was walking around). At this point in my recovery, do you think it’s possible I’ve ripped my sutures?
