Hi! I got a tummy tuck on March 21 im almost 2 months post op. But im very swollen where my incision area is. Is this normal? A friend had hers done and she said for her it stayed like that. Im scared it could be something else. I already went with my doctor and he said im just swelled up. Here’s a picture
