Hi, i am 23 days post op full tummy tuck with muscle repair. I am 56 kg before and after surgery and 5'8" tall. I am and was very slim before surgery with just loose skin being reason for surgery. I have hard swelling with some softer areas from my belly button down to my pucib bone. Is all this swelling really normal?
