Had a tt 8 weeks ago and I wear my compression garmet 24/7, but my swelling never cycles. It honestly looks the same 24/7. I have the healthiest diet of anyone I know. No carbs, minimal salt, and only water. I HAVE LOST WEIGHT since surgery and still have zero shape. I received muscle repair, and Lipo. I don’t believe it is visceral fat as when I lay down it caves in. Did mr fail? Is it possible it’s swelling that is horrible 24/7? Dr just says lymphedema and he doesn’t suspect a seroma

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I would recommend liposuction not help reduce the areas of diet and exercise resistant fat to better contour your stomach, waist, and back. This assumes your skin quality is sufficient quality to shrink down appropriately. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can travel within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.
Thanks for your inquiry and want your are seeing is very common, I would recommend dry dressing now, but ask your doctor about neosporin, good luck at your appointment.
