Why Is my stomach swollen above my navel after my Tummy tuck? (photo)
sosteenSep 25, 2016
I had a tummy tuck 8 weeks ago and I understand my lower abdomen is swollen but why would my upper abdomen above the navel be swollen 8 weeks later? My dr assures me it will flatten out in a few months and I know everyone heals differently and in different times. I just felt and looked flatter right after surgery?? My dr. did the full tummy tuck on me with lipo everywhere except above my navel. He assures me I didn't need it. But I do notice no more love handles and my bra size is smaller/girth.
