Is it normal to not feel any tightness after tummy tuck with muscle repair? I'm 6 days post op.

Thanks for your question. Congratulations on your surgery. There is a long acting local anesthetic  called Exparel that a lot of plastic surgeons are using. This tremendously cuts down on pain and discomfort. I also use TissuGlue which also helps relieve some of the tension on the closure and seems to further minimize pain and discomfort. The TissuGlue also makes it possible to do a lot of tummy tucks without using a drain. If you are not having a lot of tightness, then that is a blessing. It's not likely that you were not adequately corrected; especially if you tummy is flat. 

I'm glad you're feeling great after tummy tuck with muscle repair. What do you look like? are you flat. Photos would be helpful. Not all patients feel extremely tight, but you should ask your plastic surgeon about your situation. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Although I understand your concerns,  it is not unusual for patients to have very different experiences after tummy tuck surgery.  In other words, I would not be concerned that you do not "feel tightness" after the procedure. Best to communicate your concerns/questions directly with your plastic surgeon,  who will be your best resource when it comes to specific thoughts, advice, and/or meaningful reassurance. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
