Tummy not flat six months after tummy tuck with muscle repair (no lipo) (Photo)

Asked By:Lindsayb920 in Oakland, California

Hello, I am 40 years old, 103 lb, 5'3" with 2 kids. Waist 25" before I had kids. Post tummy tuck it is 29". My weight is the same as pre kids. My surgeon and physical therapist say the muscle repair was successful. My abs are together. Surgeon sent me for a CT to check for ovarian cysts. Results normal. What might be causing my distended abdomen? Is it reasonable to expect a better result? Thank you.
