Bulging Lower Abdomen After Tummy Tuck

User Avatar

My lower abdomen looks round and fat 5 weeks after Tummy Tuck! How can you tell if it is swelling or the final result of the tummy tuck? Any tips? I look pregnant in the lower area. I'm 10 lbs overweight and I'm not sure if I need a revision or more Lipo.
