Is genital swelling normal after tt? (Photo)

Thank you very much for this interesting question.You should not be worry, swelling in the pubic and genital areas, nine weeks after TT+lipo+BBL can be normal.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and the back three times at week, and use a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts for two months at least.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.- 

Swelling in the mons pubis area is quite common, but generally swelling is improving after 3 months.   It is best to wait, and likely it will improve, but I would definitely discuss with your surgeon. Genital swelling usually improves more quickly when it occurs.

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.

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

Thank you for your question.  Lower abdominal, pubic and genital swelling is quite common and normal after body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, body lift, or combined procedures.  Swelling in this area can persist for months before resolving.  Discuss this matter further with your surgeon at your next visit.  Best wishes on your recovery.
