Should my upper stomach still be swollen at 10 weeks post tummy tuck at the end of the day?

Asked By:jme61704 in Peoria, AZ

By the end of the day my stomach pops out at the top pretty far out. I'm 10 weeks post surgery and had a 3 inch gap repaired. I'm actually more swollen now than the past 9 weeks. Is this normal? Should I still be wearing compression?
