Is an Uneven Waistline After Tummy Tuck Normal?

July 11, 2011
Asked By:Iris from CA in Fullerton, CA

I had a tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks 12 days ago, but the shape on my waistline are uneven. One side is more curvy than the other. Could it be swelling? I'm so scared it will stay like this.
