I’m one day post op (I know, very early). When I looked down I was really upset as it doesn’t look like most other “after” pictures. Theirs lots of creasing near the scar? Dr said this will go in time but I’m not sure if this is true. Theirs a stitch above the new belly button, will this go? I had Lipo and tummy tuck and wanted to achieve a flat stomach.

Answer: Will these creases disappear? Many thanks for posting your question.I completely appreciate your concerns, but in all likelihood, these creases will settle down and disappear. As you said, you are aware that you are very early after surgery, and it is always a worrying time in the early post surgical period. It's also hard to be patient, but you can't hurry time, and time is needed for things to settle.I hope this reassures you - good luck

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear Caring118, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tummy tuck surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.
