Answer: Swelling one week after tummy tuck
The swelling at one week after tummy tuck surgery is often at its maximum 3 to 10 days after surgery.
Please check with your surgeon to make sure that you don't have an abnormal fluid collection (haematoma or seroma) or infection.
Otherwise try to rest because excessive movement can cause more swelling. Make sure that you are wearing your compression garment 24 hours per day and keep your bowls regular.
