Answer: Hard swelling after a tummy tuck
You should ask if you have a seroma or hematoma in the area. This sounds like you do have an issue go back and discuss with the PS.

Answer: Hard swelling after a Tummy Tuck
The best and most reliable source to answer this question is the surgeon who operated on you. From the picture provided you do nor appear to have a major complication. The hardness you are feeling is either swelling or dead fatty tissue (fat necrosis). swelling and small areas of fat necrosis will resolve by themselves. Larger areas may require additional surgery. Ask your surgeon
