During the second week of tummy tuck recovery, I felt a slight strain on one side of my abdominals when I mistakenly tried to adjust my recliner by myself. Ever since, that side has felt sensitive - as if I can feel the muscle is inflamed or somehow slightly out of place. There is no change in my profile. What could have happened? Will that side heal differently? What can I do? Could I have done damage that I can't see?

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear momtwins,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Tummy tuck answers There are many possibilities for sudden abdominal pain after a tummy tuck. The best course of action is to have a physical exam in follow up with the plastic surgeon who performed the tummy tuck. They could determine if there was muscles spasm, nerve regeneration or many other possibilities. It is unlikely that patient damages there repair as many redundant sutures are used for a plication in most cases.
