Hello- i had my tummy tuck 6 days ago and an experiencing no pain or symptoms however my tummy looks different from all the pics I've seen online. Is this normal for all the redness and /bruising?

Answer: Bruising might be confused for a more significant problem--loss of skin.
You need to see your surgeon. The "bruising" may very well represent skin with inadequate blood supply. This can lead to loss of the skin that would require further surgery.

Answer: Complication after Tummy Tuck?
I'm sorry to hear/see about the complication you are experiencing. Unfortunately, I would agree with previous responders that you are likely dealing with a complication more significant than “severe bruising”. Based on the position and distribution of the skin discoloration, you are dealing with blood flow compromise to the tissues involved. Contact with your plastic surgeon on a relatively urgent basis is indicated.
Best wishes.
