I had a tummy tuck June 2023, I’m 6 months post op. I’m not flat, I’ll attach pics. When i stand up, there is a hardness or a tender part of my top abs. That does not go away with compression. I feel puffy up top. Wondering is this normal? Is it just going to take time for my stomach to soften up? I feel it sitting down too, just the middle part of my abdomen is tender and feels hard. I don’t know how else to explain, but I’m ready for it to be normal. Any tips? I also workout 4-5 days a week.
