Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It is uncommon to experience pain and bloating related to a tummy tuck 9 months post op.  I encourage you to visit with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.  Further testing may be needed for a diagnosis.

Dear crysss,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
