What does remodeling mean and what goes on inside as a tummy tuck heals?

February 18, 2022
Asked By:drflhelp in Florida

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, and I am curious as to what actually is going on over time with the tissues, fascia, muscles, nerves, lymphatics, blood vessels. Basically, the surgeon said my body remodels. Just curious how it all works over time.
