Should I still be this swollen 9 weeks after a full Tummy Tuck with muscles tightened? (photo)

It is hard to tell but it seems you could have a fluid collection beneath the skin flap or the muscle tightening part failed. Your swelling should mostly be gone at this point. The other issue is that you could have a very thick abdominal flap and that can account for the bulging. This can be liposuctioned down. I would start with a visit to your surgeon to make sure you do not have a fluid collection that needs to be drained.

Hi,The most impressive of your photos are the ones with the side view.  Unfortunately, we don't have a side view from early post op.  There does seem to be a recurrence of the shape that you had preoperatively.  One wonders whether or not the muscle repair might have failed.  As far as swelling is concerned, it is true that all of the swelling has not resolved, but also probably true that you won't see a dramatic change in your shape as the rest of the swelling resolves. It would be helpful at this point to check back with your surgeon and see what he has to say.Good luck, Douglas Hargrave, MD
