Hello everyone, Not to be horribly graphic, but a large dark grapefruit seems to have been swapped with my scrotum! I'm post op day 4 from a tummy tuck without lipo. I'm elevating my legs, walking around a good bit, even have on some compression underwear I use at the gym. Wondering if this is normal or if I should prepare to be a unich. Thanks in advance

Answer: Scrotal swelling after Tummy tuck. Any suggestions? Thank you for the quite visual/graphic description. Keep in mind, that your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to a relevant/accurate assessment and advice. Having said that, some degree of genitalia swelling is commonly seen after tummy tuck and/or liposuction surgery. Elevation of your pelvic area can be helpful; I would be careful about the use of compression underwear (potentially putting pressure on the involved area). Again, most likely a normal part of the postoperative process but best to check with your plastic surgeon for meaningful reassurance. Best wishes.

Answer: Scrotal swelling and bruising after TT This is not an unusual occurrence after male abdominoplasty. The swelling and bruising tends to settle in the scrotum and the base of the penis. Some indirect icing under the scrotum, over the underwear will help the symptoms. Just make sure it is not in direct contact with the skin. I wish you the best in your recovery.
