I am 3 weeks post-op tummy tuck/ muscle repair. Why is it when I wake up in the morning I can walk a little more erect. And by the time I move around everything is completely tight? Is this the muscles tightening up or the skin? I am have lay down again to force my body to stretch on right when it tightens up.
Answer: Swelling after abdominoplasty leaves the patient with a sense of rigidity. .The swelling doesn't change much during the course of the day. Perceptual changes might based on what you expect of the abdominal muscles that are swollen. All of the symptoms will improve as swelling subsides. Full recovery may take several months

Answer: Tummy tuck muscle spasm When muscle work is done in tummy tuck the new tension across the tightened muscle can cause increased spasm when used such as in getting out of bed, sitting up or down ,or just walking. therefore you will feel a tightening. If this becomes painful you might benefit from a muscle relaxer. It resolves over 6 to 12 weeks.

Answer: Stomach tightening The cause of the abdominal muscle tightening is usually muscle spasms. This improves typically over time and with rest. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. He/She is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.
