Upper Abdominal Swelling After Tummy Tuck

February 24, 2009
Asked By:dmac in Catonsville MD

I had a full Abdominoplasty about 7 months ago. I still seem to have swelling in the upper abdominal area. From the navel down is actually flat, but above that it is still pretty puffy. What can I do about this? Thank you.
