Can Swelling 5 Weeks After Tummy Tuck Cause my Waist to Measure 2 Inches More Than Before Surgery?

August 9, 2013
Asked By:Fitness I in San diego

I asked my doctor whom I love and he said that it is likely swelling and I will continue to have swelling for at least the first 3 months. Is it normal to be measuring 2 inches more? My tummy does look nice and flat though which is really nice.
