I'll be 3 months post TT and diastasis repair on Aug 3rd. I'm worried that I don't have a smooth contour. It looks lumpy, rippled. I've texted pictures to my doctor. He said because I was so small my smooth muscles are showing through but this will correct itself in 6-9 months not to worry.

Answer: My doctor said not to worry about the lumpy/ripple post tummy tuck, should I be concerned? (Photos) You are early in the healing process. Swelling after TT can produce lumps and may be normal. Swelling and healing as well as scar maturation can persist for 6 months and sometimes up to 1 year. Healthy people at their ideal weight should have the best overall recovery, but some of this will depend upon the surgical technique and adherence to postoperative protocols. If lumps do not improve, consider a TT revision after a year.

However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.
