I am almost 12 weeks post op tummy tuck, when do the incisions stop hurting?

SFBex
i had my tummy tuck almost 13 weeks ago. i am just wondering when the incisions stop being sore and having bits of puss release? everything seems to be healing just fine and there isn't reason for concern, other than it being tender. just wondering when that goes away?
