Answer: I am 5 days post op after a tummy tuck and worried about the line in the middle? Hello. Great question. At 5 days you are still very early in your recovery process. There is still a lot of swelling present. It can take up to six months for all the swelling to go down. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Answer: Tummy tuck result Hello,5 days is too early to tell what the result will be. It is likely that the line is due to sutures placed to hold your abdominal skin down to your abdomen while it heals and from cinching in your waist. I would recommend talking to your surgeon about this as he/she will be able to best inform you. It looks like you will have a nice result but have to be patient. All the best in your recovery,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
