It has been 3 years since my tummy tuck...I'm miserable. It is so tight that I can't wear anything but elastic. When I exercise the muscles will go into spasms. I have no waist anymore and look like I'm 3-4 months pregnant. Is there anyway to fix this???

Answer: It sounds like something else may be going on. The natural course of recovery after a tummy tuck is for things to feel too tight for a week or two and gradually relax. Your description of spasms, loss of waist definition and fullness of the abdomen does not sound anything like a tummy tuck that is "too tight". I would recommend you see your doctor to see what is really going on.

Answer: Too tight tummy tuck Your best bet is to consult with board certified plastic surgeons to see what the problem is, and if a revision could help you. Sometimes, great tightness in one area is accompanied by looseness in adjacent areas that can be recruited to release the tension in the tight area.
