Pulled Muscle After Tummy Tuck, How Can I Fix This? (photo)

September 17, 2012
Asked By:LoudBeauty

I am 3 months Post Op i have the muscle raised on the left side of my stomach above the belly button. My doctor told me its a pulled muscle and will go away with ALOT of massages. Today i had a shooting pain nothing too serious but my stomach doesn't look completely flat because of this my right side is normal, so it looks a bit odd. Is there anything i can take OTC to help it go down? I got surgery in the Dominican Republic and am now back in NY.Where i am pointing in the picture is the pulled muscle.
