My tummy tuck was 24 days ago, and i am worried that the ridge of swelling over my incision will not go down. It still looks like i have some overhang there. Apart from this, my results are still very good, and i am pleased.

Answer: Look good for 3 weeks
Your result for 3 weeks is good. It is very normal to have some swelling above the incision. Many times scar massage will help with this. Also there is the possibility of seroma or fluid accumulation in the space beneath the skin and this would need to be aspirated. Just check in with your surgeon and they will let you know what to do.
Good luck with your new body,

Answer: Swelling at 3 weeks
Be sure to take it easy as you are still only 3 weeks out from your tummy tuck. It often will take a few months to return to normal fluid control in that area.
