Upper abdominal swelling 9 months after tummy tuck. What could this be from? (Photo)

Asked By:Magda919 in Raleigh, NC

I am 9 months post op for a tummy tuck and muscle repair. I had my surgery in Jan 2014. Within the last month I have developed some upper abdominal swelling. I feel like any time I eat, or drink my stomach balloons. I went to see my surgeon because I was concerned that I had damaged my muscle repair but he assured me that was not the case. What could this be from?
