Tummy Tuck Still Swollen After 8 Weeks? (photo)

Thank you for submitting your question. For 8 weeks post surgery you look good.   Swelling after a full abdominoplasty will last for many weeks after surgery.  Final results take 6-12 months. Discuss concerns with your Plastic surgeon.

Without pre-op photos- it's difficult to give the best answer. You're still very early post-op- to pass final judgement. It takes months to a year to fully heal after Abdominoplasty.I suggest you give it time

Always good to send along photos. So far, it looks like you are making a nice recovery.  It is a process that can take a year to heal. Each board certified plastic surgeon has their own peri-operative instructions. If you have any questions,  I would suggest seeing your plastic surgeon.  Let them know your concerns.

Without before pictures, it is difficult to comment on your recovery or the procedure.  However, you look like you have a nice result.  It does take 3 to 6 months for the swelling to completely resolve.  However, most of the swelling resolves in the first 6 weeks.  

 

Good Luck.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer your question given that there are no pre-operative photos. However,  the post operative photos on Sideview demonstrate a flat abdomen. I also think the frontal view  demonstrates a nice contour . Giving these photos I feel that you have a very good result. I think it is important for you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon .
