Why does my stomach still feel tight and hard 4 months after my tummy tuck surgery ?

For many TT cases, it can take up to 12-18 months for the swelling to fully resolve and the lower abdomen and belly button to gain its final shape/size/position.  My best advice is to continue to follow your surgeon's advice and attend your scheduled follow-ups, and let time be your ally.  
Best wishes during your recovery!

Hello thank you for your recent question ! Some of the fullness and hardness you are feeling in your abdomen could be left over swelling.  However with that said it is hard to give that exact answer with out seeing you in person.  If you have any concerns I would recommend you contact your surgeon to be seen in person.  Best of luck! 

Dear vvrhodes1,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
