Does a tummy tuck not work for some people? I am 11 weeks post op from a full TT and muscle repair. (Photos)

Asked By:Gymbean02 in Dallas, TX

At 6 weeks I looked pretty flat coming out of my binder, but am increasing in a below navel bulge weekly. My doctor told me to wear my binder for an additional month, but every week it has continued to look larger, not smaller. I am also very actice-an avid cross fitter who started back at modified intensity at the 6 week mark. Is this normal swelling for an active individual or could my internal stitches have come undone? Thank you!
