Normal for tummy to pooch out a little bit after tummy tuck? (photos)

Hi,
thank you for your question. I understand you might have some concerns post surgery, but it is normal for the repaired abdomen to show a small amount of 'pooch' as you describe it or distention. This can be attributed to things as muscle tone, the position of the lumbar curve and also the volume of food we digested. It is not an indication that your surgery has not gone well.

Hi there. It is very common to have intermittent swelling after a tummy tuck. It normal for your swelling to be worse in the afternoon and better in the morning after rest or use of compression. For further concerns I would follow up with your plastic surgeon to ensure everything is healing as expected. Best of luck!

From your photos it appears you had nice results from your tummy tuck. Your last photo could indicate a difference caused from swelling after activity or perhaps even the way you are standing. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an in person evaluation.
