Is my mini tummy tuck swelling normal?

March 17, 2014
Asked By:kimmysb

I had a mini tummy tuck with no muscle repair or lipo. The only problem I had was a pouch of fat that hung over right in the middle below my belly button. When I looked at my stomach right after the surgery I was very pleased. It was perfect, completely flat. As a week went by I started to swell mostly at both areas of my hips. Now it looks like I have two indents at the outer part of the scar on both sides. Will this swelling go away? And should it eventually look like it first did?
