Tummy tuck 1 year post op - is this tightening sensation normal?

Fantastic302320
Hi I'm concerned if my surgeon even did a tummy tuck on me. So I'm a year post op and my abdominal area still looks the same as when I went into surgery. I would like to know is this even normal after a year. I also have tightening sensation in that area when getting up from sitting down, getting up from laying on my back and even while walking normally.
