I had a full TT and MR and new belly button on 3/3/11. I am 11 post op and feel rounded standing up and flabby sitting down. My PS said it could be swelling and reasses at 6 months and he will do a revision if im not happy. I wake up sort of flat (flat upper, rounded lower ab)and swollen by days end. At 11 weeks is this my final results? I expected more from a full lipoabdominoplasty with musclr repair. I know that I should be a little lose to be able to stand but i just feel like not enough was taken off. Thanks.

Answer: How do I look 11 weeks after lipoabdominoplasty?
Lipo-abdominoplasty is a procedure where liposuction is done to reduce the excess fat and help mobilize the skin but the skin flaps aren't raised to preserve blood supply to the skin flaps. It would have been good if you showed a pre-op picture. You have a lot of stretch marks and your skin has very little elasticity. Depending on how you looked before surgery your results could be considered acceptable or inadequate. I would suggest to keep in touch with your plastic surgeon. It is good that he is willing to help you further.

Answer: Swelling 3 months after a tummy tuck
Based on your photos it appers you have some excess skin that may need to be removed in the future. I'm not convinced swelling is the cause for your current abdominal contour. Continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon and if in 6-9 months the contour isn't what you expected, he can improve the shape with a revision (removal of skin).
Best wishes,
