Bulged and hard tummy, no much feeling after 11 months post surgery - permanent?

June 23, 2023
Asked By:aaquino79 in Denver, Colorado

I am a 43and I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation last august. From the beginning my tummy was bulged but surgeon said it was normal due the procedure. I didn’t do much physical work and followed all the post surgery care directions. My tummy after surgery has never looked flat it’s hard and I have little sensation in the whole area. It looks swollen all the time and it worsen as the day goes on. By the end of the day I look like I am bloated but I am not. Is it permanent?
