I know tummy tuck swelling takes a while to go away. But, I feel like I'm MORE swollen by my incision area than before? Could it be that i'm doing more daily activities? It was literally flat after surgery. Now that the drain came out, (maybe not related) I see more swelling concentrated above the incision area. Like a little pooch. Can I do anything to make it better? .... ugh photos won't upload. I'm not overweight just had TT to rid some stretch marks and a little loose skin from pregnancies.

Answer: Swelling after a Tummy Tuck Swelling can be present for several months after a tummy tuck. Some swelling is normal but it is best to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon to make sure that there is not a fluid collection called a seroma.

Answer: Swelling After Tummy Tuck #tummytuck It is not uncommon to actually develop some more swelling (edema) at a few weeks after a tummy tuck. This may be in part due to the fact that you are more active now. Quite rarely, after an abdominal drain is removed after a tummy tuck, a fluid collection (seroma) can develop.The last place for edema to finally dissipate is just above and along the length of the lower abdominal incision after a tummy tuck.Over the next couple months this edema will go down considerably. Don't hesitate to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon if anything changes or you become more concerned.
