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

It is perfectly normal to have numbness or swelling after a tummy tuck which is expected to slowly have sensation return to normal after many months and even years following your surgery. Although uncommon, permanent numbness and tingling can occur after tummy tuck surgery, especially in the lower mid line area between the scar and belly button. In most cases there is some sensation present, just not the normal pre-surgical amount. Please speak with your plastic surgeon about your concerns. #tummytucknumbness #tummytuckpost-op

hello,While swelling from Tummy Tuck surgery can persist for many months and temporarily return after an increase in activity, increasing discomfort or unusual swelling at this point should be reported to your Plastic Surgeon so that they can investigate the cause.All the best!

Swelling can occur for several months after surgery. From what you described, it is difficult to tell if this is normal or something that would be of concern. I certainly recommend that you seek the advice of your surgeon, Giving him an opportunity to examine you and give you a more straightforward answer. I wish you the best. Dr. Gabbay.
