I had a tummy tuck one year ago and still feel swelling. Is this normal?

Hello,Swelling at one year is not expected. Typically, even after some ongoing trauma to the area, swelling is resolved and final results visible by 6 months. There may be other causes for this such as fluid retention or weight gain. I recommend that you share your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon and look into other possible reasons for this. All the best

Swelling a year after a tummy tuck is somewhat unusual. Certainly things can change after you have had seroma, but if this is still a problem and concern for for you, I recommend that you speak with your physician. It is certainly important to seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery.I wish you the best.Dr. Gabbay

If you are developing swelling at the end of the day this is dependent edema.  It may be due to scarring of your incision.  The incision can sometimes act like a dam trapping fluid above the level of the scar.  Massage and time are the best treatment options. 

Not really but very hard to advise without posted photos and I recommend ONLY in person second opinions to determine the results....

Hi, tpbaso.  Although swelling is common and expected after tummy tuck, most of swelling decreases by 3rd months and final contour comes about 6 months post-op.  It is not usual to have swelling after 1 year. Some thoughts are 1) residual seroma, 2) weight gain, 3) sensitivity to certain food.. Please visit your plastic surgeon to be evaluated.  Best regards.
