Still Swollen Almost 11 Weeks Post-op Tummy Tuck - What is Going On? (photo)

August 18, 2013
Asked By:ChloeC. in Austin, TX

I got a tummy tuck done June 4th of this year. The surgeon did not touch my abdomen and did not perform liposuction. I had a difficult recovery and was VERY swollen. Most of the swelling has gone down but there is still a significant amount left and I'm very frustrating. When I suck my stomach in I cannot see any sign of my ribcagn sunda
