Why does my abdominal still feel like its contracting after 2 year old TT?

Question

It has protruded outwards and it has been 20 months since i had my tummy tuck. I can actually touch my stomach and feel the hardness inside although there has not been any pain. Like...how long should i not panic and should i seek medical attention? Or, is this normal after so long?

All wounds have a tendency to contract after surgery. Usually the wound will have softened by 2 years. Hopefully you were instructed to massage the area and continue your diet and exercise regimen.  If you are still experiencing discomfort, you should consult with your doctor or a board certified plastic surgeon about the discomfort you are feeling. Wishing you feel better soon.
