Why is my stomach not flat after a mini tummy tuck?

Asked By:non flatto in Gold Coast, AU

I had a mini TT surg. 6 mths ago. Went in same weight I am now. I am healthy, I run, gym. I had stretched, loose skin after 2 pregnancies. I used to be able to suck in my tummy and it looked flat, just excess skin. Since the surgery I can no longer ‘suck in’ my stomach. I have a flap of fat (or is it just swelling?) above my scar. Is this a lymphatic drainage prob or weight issue around my lower abdomen? Has the scar been sewed too tightly creating this under bulge? Will this always be here?
