One Side of Tummy is More Swollen than the Other After Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Mommy in AZ
I am 3 months post tummy tuck and one side (the left side) of tummy above incision is more swollen then the other. It isnt awful but it noticeable. Is this swelling that will go down or will i need lipo to correct this? Is it normal to still have this at 3 months post op?
