Asked By:mojo1985 in United Kingdom, GB

I had full tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo of flanks 3 weeks ago. I had minimal swelling until this week but my main concern is the swelling above belly button to breast bone. Its very puffy in comparison to lower abdominal swelling. My surgeons ruled out fluid but is this swelling common? I seem to have lost signt of any contour. Could my muscle repair have failed ?
