It been 10 month since my TT, my pubic area is not flat and swells up significantly through out the day and becomes more numb
Answer: Why is my pubic area swollen 10 months post op? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated. It is difficult without an in-person examination to determine what may be taking place. In most cases this is persistent swelling which can take time to resolve spontaneously. This typically follows the waxing and waning appearance changes during the day that you describe. It is important, however, to ensure that other issues are not taking place - a discrete fluid collection or residual adipose tissue. Since your surgeon knows the full details of your operation, they are in the best position to provide you with a diagnosis and treatment option. Best wishes.

Answer: Mons Pubis After Tummy Tuck This certainly could be a swelling problem, but I'd start looking for something more significant at this point. Has your surgeon seen you for the problem? It seems as though you might need either a fluid collection drained, or a little bit of liposuction in that zone to flatten the area.The blog I wrote a few years ago covers swelling, and it might be worth you having a look at the video I attached.Good Luck!

Answer: Why is my pubic area swollen 10 months post op? Online consultants will not be your best resource when it comes to questions such as causation of pubic area swelling. Much will depend on your starting physical examination and what was done during your procedure. My best advice: follow up with your plastic surgeon for in person evaluation. If, in the longer term, you remain concerned, revisionary surgery (likely involving additional skin removal plus/minus liposuction surgery) may be necessary to improve your outcome. Best wishes.

Answer: Swelling after surgery Dear xena11583,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Swelling after Tummy tuck Thanks so much for reaching out. It may take 12 to 18 months for all of your swelling to resolve. If after that much time and you still have a bulge in your lower abdomen you may benefit from Liposuction to decrease any remaining fatty tissue. Sometimes the abdominal musculature needs to be re-stitched.I hope this helps :-)
