I think i stretched or compromised the tightness of my muscle repair by binge eating and eating big meals. Is this possible?

Yes, of course. If you overeat and gain weight, then the muscle is going to expand to accommodate the additional weight. I would advise that you get on a healthy eating regime -- Weight Watchers is a great program -- and take off the extra pounds. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you for the question. Anything is possible but, in general, it would take a significant amount of pressure to “disrupt" the muscle repair after tummy tuck surgery. This event would likely be associated with significant discomfort. A change in your physical examination, such as increased swelling, bleeding, a new onset "bulge" would also be likely.Generally speaking, abdominal wall muscle plication performed during tummy tuck surgery is quite secure; disruption is very unusual. You will be best off following up with your plastic surgeon who will be your best resource when it comes to accurate assessment, advice, and/or meaningful reassurance.Best wishes.
