I am 5 years post op. I gained 10 lbs. My stomach is no longer flat and looks to be protruding. I have had tingling at hip bones, & mid section. What is happening? should I go back to wearing garments? any suggestions

Answer: Garments are for recovery You are beyond the recovery phase and garments will do nothing for you. I presume the tingling has been with you for quite some time, probably years. This sounds like incomplete recovery of some of your sensory nerves; fortunately it is not painful. If you are unhappy with your appearance, you should seek consultation with your surgeon or other qualified surgeons.

Answer: Tingling after tummy tuck Dear Post Op Ques, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
