How long does swelling last after a fleur de lis tummy tuck? Does your tummy go flat as expected?

December 13, 2013
Asked By:Dcupdiva

I had a fleur de lis tummy tuck (along with a breast augmentation & lift)11 days ago after losing 100+ lbs naturally. About 5-6 lbs of skin was removed. At first I was completely flat, but now there is lots of swelling. (looks like I am puffy, been drinking beer or eating salty foods) Is this normal? How long does it last? And I am expecting a nice flat tummy with no "jiggle". Is that what I will get? Or am I unrealistic? (no muscle repair needed).
