Why more swelling last 2 days around belly button? I did get my period yesterday, maybe that? I still walk slow, but I tend to baby myself. Belly button area swelling more. Incision is almost healed. Is this normal to not stand up straight all the way yet?
Answer: Swelling and recovery after tummy tuck surgery Its very common to experience fluctuations in swelling, particularly as you become more active after surgery and begin using your muscles again. Each person returns to a fully upright position at their own pace although it should be much longer before you feel comfortable straightening out. Its important to ease back in your usual routine and follow the advice of your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Recovering from a tummy tuck varies from how your procedure was done and what other issues you have may that may impact your recovery. The major concerns while recovering are fluid collections, tissue compromise (which you don't appear to have), bleeding, and infection. In the absence of these, observation is usually recommended. As for standing straight up, most of my patients can stand 2 days post up but I an not the surgeon that excises the maximal amount of tissue.
