Tt was oct 17 2021 Im swollen i shud b healed by now I dont know if i should get checked out by my family doctor or not
Answer: Swelling after surgery Swelling is a very common postoperative problem--it's not really a problem because that is the way the body heals--watch the video for a better explanation--but it is normal. It lasts a long time and I am convinced it lasts for a full year although most of it is gone by 6 months so I would see your surgeon to make sure you don't have a serum for example that needs attention. I would suspect your swelling is not really true swelling but rather internal fat--that's a common problem that patients don't realize is that visceral fat can be mistaken as swelling and it is just visceral fat that can be removed with weight loss.

Answer: 7 months after TT, should I still be swollen? Hello @Charming321713 thank you for your question and showing you pictures. I understand your concern. It is important to take into account several aspects among which is the surgical technique applied, and to evaluate if there is something else at a systemic level to make you still swollen. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: Swelling It can take up to one year for you to see your final results from your tummy tuck. That being said, the majority of your swelling should have resolved by now. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns and determine what may be causing them.

Answer: Tummy tuck You should go back to your surgeon to be checked. What you have may be internal fat and not related to your surgery.
