I am 5'2" and weight 112lbs. I had a TT w lipo 3 months ago. I still have a belly round and if I bend down, you can see a pouch. Always been thin just extra skin from pregnancies. Is this swollen? Anything I can do to get flat results?

Answer: Why do I still see a belly 3 months after TT? Healing after a tummy tuck can take up to 6 months. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. Try to be patient, and make sure to follow your specific surgeon's instructions.

Answer: Swelling after abdominoplasty Hi, and thank you for your query. Post-operative swelling following a tummy tuck will last for around six months, so the true outcome cannot yet be ascertained. Please continue to follow all guidance from your surgeon as to post-operative care, and if, after a few more months, you are still unhappy with your result, you should contact your original surgeon and explain your concerns. They will then be able to advise you of your options going forward. I wish you all the best.
