It's best to address this question with your surgeon, but I see no reason that chin liposuction could not be combined with a tummy tuck.

At 3 weeks post-op you should start to feel more comfortable; in my practice I restrict heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 6 weeks after a tummy tuck. As long as you don't do these, you should be OK

Tape placed over your incision should not feel like that. I would consult your surgeon so he can exam you.

Hi Debbie. Swelling that appears when you return to full activity is pretty normal. Persistent swelling and pressure and pain in the lower abdomen should be brought to the attention of your plastic surgeon. Perhaps rest and another week off will help. Best wishes always, Dr. ALDO

I would speak to your surgeon regarding your concerns. Otherwise you can get a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon. Regards,
