Is This Normal Puckering 6 Days Post-op from Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Puckering of skin 6 days after tummy tuck is not unusual. It may take several weeks for it to flatten out. Generally the skin will relax and find its normal shape. I hope this helps you.

Looking at the photo it looks like some of the internal sutures were tightened slightly more than the skin dermal sutures.   This is fairly common as the skin of the upper area needs to be mobilized towards the midline to avoid lateral fullness or a dog ear.  This creates the potential for skin pleats.  With careful and meticulous stitching this can be minimized.   Most of the time these internal sutures will dissolve with time.  Massaging the area after two to three weeks will help it dissipate over the next month.  There is a small dog ear on the lateral part of the incision.  This likely will not disappear with time and will probably need to be excised.
