I had a full tummy tuck 4 weeks ago no muscle repair was needed. I've noticed that my hips which were lovely and flat are now big. They measure 6 inches bigger. They are not hard and I can actually grab and move handfuls of fat. My upper inner thighs are also very swollen and 4 inches bigger. I was told swelling can move down and my hip area will return to normal soon. My upper tummy is very flat but now I have these huge flanks is this normal My surgeon doesn't not use compression garments.
