Popping Sounds and Sensation in the Belly After Tummy Tuck?

April 8, 2009
Asked By:LVoeGucci in san jose ca

I'm 4 weeks post op from a full Tummy tuck with muscle repair and Liposuction to hips and flanks. For the last 2 weeks, I hear popping sounds and sometimes I feel popping sensations in my belly. Is this normal? If it's a suture, would I feel any pain or discomfort? Is this just part of healing?
