Almost two months after tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo and my flanks still seem huge?

June 25, 2016
Asked By:Mom of big babies in Pennsylvania, PA

I have an appointment in five days, but want an idea now. My flanks seem extremely large yet. I'm not sure how to tell if they're swollen or if it's fat. My lower abdomen (under incision) still isn't flat, either. Should the swelling be down by now? I can't get a precise answer by searching. Thanks in advance.
