Can skin be too tight after tummy tuck?

Asked By:links85

It's been 11 days since I had a full tummy tuck and tightening of the mucles done, but it feels like the docter took too much skin and that I will never be able to walk upright again.The area between my belly button and where my pubic hair starts is significantly smaller and doesn't look right.The skin is just so tight.Will the skin strech and look normal again?Will I be able to walk upright again without agonising pain?
