My surgeon says that my pleating will resolve and become flat over time. I’m just curious approx how long that typically takes? My pleating seems to be pretty severe, I’m nervous that I will need a revision. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow is there anything I can do to help these pleats to go away?

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. A personal examination is needed to properly address your bulge.
Hello. Great question. No, a tummy tuck will not have an effect on your uterus. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.
It's not typical for swelling to resolve and then begin again. You are doing the correct things by keeping in close contact with your surgeon and following post op instructions. From your description your surgeon is monitoring you and exploring potential causes.
