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

Asked By:hanlucks in Salt Lake City, Utah

I’m 6 months post op. Pics are in the morning. When I suck in a bit I’m completely flat, when I relax completely my stomach is a bit rounded. I can feel the line down my diastasis (I’m assuming dissolving stitches or scar tissues etc). Do women sometimes experience this? Does a little sticking out when relaxed mean my muscle repair failed?
