Is it normal for your stomach to feel rock hard after a Tummy Tuck?

In most cases, you should expect your abdomen to be hard because of swelling and muscle tightening. There needs to be some caution though, because a hematoma or other process could also make it hard. If you suspect something isn't right, you should probably see your surgeon.

Thanks for your excellent question brandydeja18.  After a Tummy Tuck surgery +/- Liposuction, there is a lot of healing going on.  Small fluid or blood collections after surgery are consolidated and absorbed by your body; new vessels and healing scar tissue is formed and remodeled; Swelling of the damaged cells waxes and wanes in response to you activity level.  All of these can contribute to firm areas where the tissues are healing.  This process is usually resolved by 3 months in most of my patients but can take up to 6 months or even a year in rare cases.  The fact that all parts are feeling less hard as the days go by is a good sign that supports a normal healing process.  Always follow up with your surgeon so they can monitor your healing and address any of your concerns directly.
Congrats on your procedure,

This is a difficult question to answer because you didn't indicate how long ago your surgery was. Assuming it was recent the hardness of the stomach could be some muscle spasms from the repair of the diastasis recti. If it is longer our from surgery then there could be some fat necrosis. I recommend following up with your surgeon. Good luck!Dr. Basile
