Follow-up Question: 9wk po tt mr , soft , squishy lower abdomen/ pubic area

Thanks for your question. That area can get quite "boggy" after TT, lip and particularly with mons reduction. Normally you can palpate free fluid as it feels like a water bed and that is a seroma. An ultrasound can be done if there is any question. Sometimes there is just a lot of congestion from impaired lymphatic drainage. This can take 3 months to resolve. It can be expedited with lymphatic massage. I would give it a couple of weeks from the last time you've seen your surgeon and if no improvement (or if it gets worse) ask to be evaluated. Best of Luck!

At 9 weeks it is very typical to have swelling above the TT scar, especially if lipo was done in this area. Keep following up with your PS, sounds like they are taking good care of you. Compression helps some, but you really just need to be patient and allow your body to heal. Congratulations on your TT!

Dear Cardenas1991Thanks for your question and photos.  Your "soft, squishy lower abdomen" may be due to excess subcutaneous tissue (fat), fluid collection, and/or edema (swelling).  Since your plastic surgeon can examine you in-person, you should follow up with your plastic surgeon for his/her evaluation and treatment plan. Good luck with your  continued recovery.Best regards.
