Round tummy after TT & MR

December 12, 2024
Asked By:Beauty666 in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom

Hi, I had a tummy tuck (TT) and muscle repair (MR) 9 months ago, but my belly is still round. I’m generally slim (UK size 8/S), but even after surgery, I’m wearing UK size 12 jeans due to the shape of my belly. I expected to be relatively flat after the TT, but that’s not the case, so I’m wondering what could be causing this: Could it be a failed MR? Weak tummy wall (perhaps I needed mesh)? Still swelling (although I doubt this, as it hasn’t changed since months 3-4)? Or could it be bloating?
