Atthis point in your recovery, it is much too soon to be worried about theoutcome. It takes time for the swelling to resolve. It may be 6months or more before the shape has reached its final look. Be patient. Watch your physicalactivity. Everyone is different.
This sounds like typical pain following a tummy tuck. If you are noticing more and more swelling and tightness the main concern would be if you are bleeding. Have the drains changed color? Is there significant swelling or just skin firmness? You should have pain and be uncomfortable after a tummy tuck which is the most painful cosmetic procedure. Call your surgeon to be safe.

Hello. It sounds like the pain pills are giving you some strange symptoms, but these do not sound worrisome. The oxycodone affects people differently-- some are sleepy, some more hyper and some itchy! I would try to go off them during the day and just take advil if you can-- and your symptoms...
