I had a full tummy tuck 7 months ago. I am very happy with the results but I have tightness feeling in my lower stomach. It is worse after I exercise. Also when I wake up in the morning from laying flat to a sitting position I have soarness, especially near belly button. Is this normal after 7 months ?
Answer: Tightness The tightness you are feeling is from tightening your abdominal muscles during the tuck to give you a flatter abdomen. You might try a loose some weight to see if this helps relieve the issue.

Answer: I had a full tummy tuck 7 months ago, but still have lower stomach tightness - is this normal? This sensation is normal. Muscle repair with tummy tuck causes the tight feeling and may last for quite some time. It does tend to normalize eventually.

Answer: Tummy tuck The symptoms you describe are not uncommon after a tummy tuck. It takes time for the tissues to fully heal. Be sure that you are returning to exercise gradually and allow rest if needed. It is always best to check with your surgeon for an evaluation. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.
