Asked By:Amyb5237

I had my tummy tuck done 8 days ago and I'm recovering fine, I also had muscle plication as they were separated by 23cm. I have been wearing my binder 24/7 and showed my gp today and they are very happy with my recovery, whoever my whole stomach looks like a water bed when pressed, is this normal and is part of the recovery or is it a zero a, my drains were only in 24hrs? Thanks
