Pulling sensations a year after my tummy tuck revision

After a year you are fully healed from surgery. I encourage you to begin by visiting with your surgeon for an evaluation and to discuss your concerns. Gentle stretching exercises done consistently may help alleviate the tugging feeling you described.

Dear Inventive200221,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Most people will experience new sensations on the abdomen after major surgery like a full tummy tuck. Most patients will be left with an area of numbness and some people perceive tightness. Stretching exercises and massage can help. Usually it just takes time for patients to get accustomed to the new sensations. It typically does not indicate something was done wrong, or that intervention is necessary.

I suggest following up with your provider if you have questions or concerns about the outcome of the procedure.
Once patients are healed up, they are not going to fall apart after surgery.Final results after a tummy tuck I usually seen at about six months. Scars can take a year to a year and a half before they stop changing. Changes in skin sensation can continue for a couple of years.
