I'm over 9 weeks post op from tt, lipo & bl. I'm a little worried about swelling of my genitals, specifically clitoris. The lower part of my abdomen is a bit swollen just above & below the incision so I'm hoping that this may be why my genitals are abnormal at this time? It's irritating & uncomfortable. Will this resolve itself or is it possible I may need some type of corrective surgery? I have appointment with my surgeon at the end of this month & will bring it to his attention if it's still a problem.

Answer: Mons pubis swelling after tummy tuck This can be normal for 6 months following a tummy tuck and usually resolves with time. However, you may have excess fat as well and this would need to be removed. Ask your PS if any was removed during surgery.

Answer: Is genital swelling normal after tt? Hi HCrossan59, Swelling in the pubic area following an abdominoplasty is completely normal, as the mons pubis is elevated during surgery. Your incision is made in that area also and commonly swelling will accumulate and dissipate over the coming weeks. In our clinic, we almost always incorporate liposuction to the mons pubis into all our abdominoplasty procedures to leave a flatter surface. Being completely aware of all risks and complications is important; if your swelling worsens significantly in the coming weeks, consult your plastic surgeon as this could indicate seroma (fluid accumulation) and may need to be drained.All the best with your recovery,Craig
