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?

Answer: Tummy tuck It's difficult to determine what is causing your concern. It could simply be excess subcutaneous fat which could be addressed with liposuction. It could be visceral/internal fat. That is the fat that is behind the muscle wall that is not improved with a tummy tuck or liposuction. That can be addressed through weight loss however. An in person evaluation may lead to more specific answers for you.

Answer: Bulged and hard tummy, no much feeling after 11 months post surgery - permanent? Hello @aaquino79, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. I understand your concern. It is important to take into account several aspects among which is the surgical technique applied, and to evaluate if there is something else at a systemic level.
