Upper Abdomen Bulge Following Tummy Tuck on Male Patient? (photo)

Mike.hb17
I am 12 days post op and from the very beginning following the procedure I have noticed my upper abdomen is not as flat as the lower. Also my lower abdomen feels much tighter and numb than the upper portion, which is what was expected, but I also expected that throughout my abdomen. I feel as though maybe the muscle repair was not performed or maybe I'm over analyzing too soon. would appreciate any and all feed back. Thanks!
