I’m 10 DPO from full TT, muscle repair and Lipo to flanks. Is tummy supposed to be firm right after a tummy tuck? (photo)

Asked By:Pennny

My stomach is not firm like people say it should be. I can push down on it and jiggle with my hand a bit. Is this because it is not attached to the muscle wall yet ? Drains were removed at 7 DPO and wasn’t draining very much at that point. Some people are suggesting that I have a seroma but I do not have fever, lump /ball, bruising or pain. I am wearing the binder dr gave 24/7
