I am 11 weeks post op full tummy tuck and muscle repair, I was concerned with my results as I dont feel flat even when standing up, I no longer have the over hang though which I am happy about. I saw my plastic surgeon today, he said he still sees a little swelling but may opt to do some in office lipo above and below my bellybutton to improve my results at 6 months post op. I posted a few pics of before surgery and about 10 weeks after surgery, any advice?
