One side is much higher than the other and I sm concerned I am 2 weeks post op and am swollen. I am wearing my binder 24/7 as well. Should I be concerned or will it even out once swelling subsides?
Answer: Uneven swelling after tummy tuck and liposuction Its not uncommon at this stage of your recovery to experience swelling and asymmetry. Its also too early to determine your final result at this stage. Continue to follow your post operative guidelines and discuss any concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Asymmetry after tummy tuck From your post op photo, it appears that your left hip is fuller than your right and your right waistline sits higher than your left. I think it would be a good idea to have a look at your pre-operative photos. I am guessing you will find that your waist line was asymmetric before the surgery and that this has become more apparent now that your skin is flattened and tightened. the fullness at your hips can be a further reflection of asymmetry in your hip bones or that you have more oedema (swelling) at the left hip. Your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you the cause once they have the opportunity to examine you.
