I’m only 2 days post-op but I am curious if the crease in the middle of my abdomen is normal and due to swelling? Also, will my belly button shape change as I heal? Thanks so much for any input, I have already spoke to my doctor but was interested in getting other opinions.

Answer: Is this vertical swelling/crease in the middle of my abdomen after TT normal? Hello. Great question. I am glad you have consulted with your surgeon. He will be correct if he mentioned that you are very early in your recovery process and to be patient until all healing takes place. Be patient. If concerns persist after a few weeks, please consult a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear Mmso, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tummy tuck surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.
