I had a full abdominalplasty with MR March 20. Around 5-6 weeks later my tummy began bulging. I lost 30 lbs before procedure but was at 170lbs at 5'4 the day I went for consultation and when I went in for the procedure. Doc says he really tightened my muscles and it could be is visceral fat pushing and stretching me out. I trusted him and he prepared me for nothing but a flat tummy. I was and still am very careful as to not strain or lift anything heavy. Really upset. Suggestions?
