I had a full TT and lipo on June 2nd. 2 weeks later I developed shingles. I'm on gabapetin and oxycodone for the pain which helps a little. For the past couple of days, the mons area and vaginal lips are extremely swollen and very hard which is adding to my discomfort. The incision above the mons section is not healing as well as other.

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question. You should expect to have swelling for three to six months following tummy tuck surgery, Use of a properly fitted compression garment will help decrease the length and severity of the post-operative swelling. As the swelling decreases, the contour of your abdomen, flanks, and hips will dramatically improve. Please follow your plastic surgeons specific advice regarding your level of physical activity. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: I expect some swelling, but never expected this. Sorry to hear about your problem. Shingles certainly have impacted your healing process with added inflammation and pain. The symptoms you are describing my be secondary to the shingles but there may be other issues as well. It will be impossible to give you any meaningful opinion unless you were examined in person.I recommend seeing your surgeon for an examination. Only he/she will be able to assess the issues you are having and give you the best advise.
