I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo of the flanks 3 months ago. I have not gained a single pound I actually weigh 10 pounds less than surgery day (5 pounds removed) My stomach has never been flat nor felt tight. I feel like more skin could have been removed. Can this still be swelling?

Answer: Unhappy with TT result. Your photos do show an improvement from your pre operative appearance but you feel that your abdominal tissue should be tighter and less jiggly. Patience and additional months will allow the swelling to go down and the final contour to be seen. Address your concerns to your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon may suggest some additional liposuction to remove additional fat from your abdomen and would be in the best position to know if any additional skin tightening could be done.

Answer: Tummy tuck results can be effected by post op swelling You probably have some post op 'edema' or swelling at this point - but I agree - your tummy could look flatter and tighter than it currently does. Ask your plastic surgeon what is going on.
