Three weeks after tummy tuck and still cannot walk straight?

March 25, 2014
Asked By:lenardandi

It's been more than three weeks since my full tummy tuck and I still have a lot of tension on my lower abdomen. Especially after sitting I'm bent over a lot. Should I try to stretch or leave it until it resolves by itself?
