After having a tummy tuck what are some of the long term possibly life long issues that I may have to live with or are possible? I hear some ladies say 3 to 10 years after they never regained full feeling to their area between incision and belly button. Some say alot of swelling they still deal with and not just with their menstrual cycles. Also some say there still have the pins and needles sensation in the lower and upper abdomen. Any info and help is and will be so appreciated. Thank you very much.
