Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. You should expect to have swelling for three to six months following your tummy tuck surgery. It is quite common to have vaginal swelling. Use of a properly fitted compression garment will help decrease the length and severity of the post-operative swelling. As the swelling decreases, the contour of your abdomen, flanks, and hips will dramatically improve. Please follow your plastic surgeons specific advice regarding your level of physical activity. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
