Huge mons pubis/fupa after fleur de lis tummy tuck. Is this normal at this stage? (photos)

christinan84
Hi, I had a Fleur De lis tummy tuck 5 days ago. I'm very very pleased with the results so far despite being hugely swollen and looking a bit pregnant (I know this is normal!) My surgeon took into account my sagging Mons pubis for surgery and in recovery showed me that it has been pulled up etc. When I lie down I can definitely feel it's been lifted up. However stood up, it looks even worse than before! It's so huge and puffy!! Is this normal at this stage? Might I need revision? Thanks
