It is normal and expected to be swollen after a mini tummy tuck with liposuction. This will take several weeks to resolve. During this time it is important to closely follow your surgeon's instructions and keep all follow up appointments. It's a good idea to keep a notebook handy for you to jot down questions that you have along the way. I've included a video on recovery from a mini tummy tuck that I hope you find helpful.
Everything you are seeing is normal and due to swelling. The appearance of your abdomen will continue to improve as you continue to heal. Be patient with your recovery, this is all normal following and mini tummy tuck and liposuction. Good luck with your recovery.Dean Vistnes, MD.Vistnes Plastic SurgerySan Francisco Bay Area#drdeanvistnes #realself # minitummytuck #liposuction
First, you'll need to talk to your own PS about the specifics of what you had done. Since lipo can be done via the BB or the incision that's used for the Mini-TT, the fact that you don't see lipo holes doesn't mean it wasn't done.The more pressing concern, though, is the swelling and for that you absolutely need to talk to your PS. Despite your drains you could have a back-up of fluid (blood and/or serous fluid) and letting him or her know what your status is step #1. When you talk to your PS about this, you can also discuss the lipo.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf500

Thank you for your question. It is best to wait 3 - 6 months to allow the swelling to subside and your skin to contract. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to discuss the specific details of the procedures. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. I do not think it is a good idea to have a tummy tuck and BBL at the same time. I believe you will have better results if you stage the procedures. First do liposuction to harvest fat from the hips, flanks, thighs, and abdomen. This fat can be used for the BBL. Once...
If your symptoms started immediately after the tummy tuck, they may be related to the surgery. If your symptoms started 5 months after the surgery, you should look for another cause. It is very unusual to even see the bowel, bladder, uterus, during a tummy tuck (especially a mini) unless l...
