I am female, hispanic, 45 years old. I am concerned with my surgery. I was expecting to be more flat with no belly. I am still super swollen. My surgeon says I am bloated. I don't think people should be bloated and look like this after a mayor tummy tuck and lipo. Please let me know what you think? I still going to be swollen for more time?? Or is my swelling going to come down?

Answer: Post op tummy tuck At ten months post op you should not be experiencing regular, noticeable swelling. If it truly is bloating you may need to talk to a GI physician. It is more likely however a result of residual fat (subcutaneous or visceral) or that further abdominal tightening is needed.
