Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

When will I see the absolute final result from my tummy tuck surgery?

foreveryoung908
I am almost 3 months post op and wanted to ask how much swelling should i have and when to see the final result? Is it possible for everything to go down and settle at 3 months or does it take longer? Some peoppe have flat washboard stomachs right after surgery and some have rounder pouches 2-3 months after surgery. When can i expect to see the FINAL RESULT?
